The Wolves' Song | Jessica Flory

Listening in pitch black

To the wolves outside my tent.

They have the voice that I lack

The voice they have was sent.


They sing their song so neatly,

So high-pitched and so serene.

They don’t seem to do it discreetly

And their voices do careen.


They sing their song forward and back

Making a beautiful choir.

The song is beautiful within the pack

Like the comfort of a warm fire.


Tonight, nothing could go wrong,

May the howl in my mind, I keep.

The Wolves’ beautiful song

Seems to put me to sleep.


And with my sled that I steer

I go off with my dogs of ten.

Oh, I hope I can hear

The Wolves’ Song again.
