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,
