Little one, come to my knurl
Hark how the rain in pouring Over the root, in the pitch-black night,
And the wind in the woode a-rcaring! Eush, my darling, and listen,
Then pay for the story with
king:: Father was lost in the pitch-black aight,
In just nuch a night as tais in! Tigh up in the lonely mountains, ...Where the wild maa watebed and waited, Wolven in the foréas, anil beura in the bush,
And I on my path belated.
The rain and the night together
Cuina down, and the wind came after, Beinding the props of tho pine-tive roof,
And snapping many a richer..
I erept along in the darkness,

Stinued and bruised and blinded- Crapt to a fir with thick-set bougle, And a sheltering rock bebind it. There, from the blowing and raining Gengbing, I sought to hide ipo: Something rustled, two green osea shone,
And a wolf lay down beside me.
Little one, be not frightened:
E and the wolf together,
Sale by side, through the long, long night
Hid from the awftil weather, His wet for pressed against me, Each of os armed the other; Each of us felt in the stormy dark,
hut beast and van were brother.
No longer crashed in wring,
and when the falling forest
Bon of is went from one biding-place.
