Le Loup (Fear Not) - Le Loup

All the howling animals

Whose bloody calls still rake the air

With stuttered swathes of cackling rhythm

And snapping jaws that haunt the stairs

Birds of prey that mark the sky

And sew the starlit sheath of night!

Whose pinion feathers swallow light

And razor talons terrorize!

Through the darkness, through the night!

O, you thoughtless, howling host!

O, you ghost-white grieving wolves!

O, you lost and lonely souls!

Birds of prey that mark the night

And sew the stars above my eyes

And pointed skyward, scrape the heavens!

And razor talons terrorize!

All the howling animals

Through the darkness through the night

O you lost and lonely souls
