The Wolf-Dogs
The Wolf-Dogs
I strolled the lanes and wandered over Downs
The blackthorn blossomed in the leafless hedge
I topped the rise and there before and everywhere around
The sheep were grazing from field’s edge to edgeThe quiet peaceful scene was sudden blown
A dog burst in the field unleashed and free
To chase the helpless ewes and sheep ungrown
And kill and damage more than we can see
The blackthorn blossomed in the leafless hedge
I topped the rise and there before and everywhere around
The sheep were grazing from field’s edge to edgeThe quiet peaceful scene was sudden blown
A dog burst in the field unleashed and free
To chase the helpless ewes and sheep ungrown
And kill and damage more than we can see
That dog at home is gentle, warm and kind
A loving face it shows it’s family
A more loyal, faithful soul you’d never find
Yet Wolf is lurking in his ancestry
In his genes is instinct for the chase
And for the kill; it’s only Nature’s way
Please understand and keep him on a lead
So he and livestock live another day.
