Steeds as tempests flying, Howling of the distant wolves, Eagles high, shrill crying!

THE WOLVES When the church-village slumbers And the last songs are sung, When the grey mist arising, Is o'er the marshes hung, 'Tis then the woods forsaking, Their way cross country taking, Nine howling wolves come hungering for food.

THE WOLVES When the church-village slumbers And the last songs are sung, When the grey mist arising, Is o'er the marshes hung, 'Tis then the woods forsaking, Their way cross country taking, Nine howling wolves come hungering for food.

When the cock wakes the village From out its morning dream, Thou wilt behold the corpses Nine she-wolves by the stream!

Up the Foyle went the De Danaan fleet, among the oak-woods, the deer gazing wide-eyed at them from dark caverns of shadow, the wolves peering after them in the night.

In the morning I awoke in Utah, rode all the forenoon over arid plains; gaunt, hungry wolves scud away, cayotes ran yelping, and jack rabbits hopped out of sight for dear life; then we arrive at Salt Lake City, which the Mormons have transformed from a howling wilderness into a fine city, with a surrounding country budding and blossoming with bounteous harvests.

We fell upon the provisions like famished wolves, and when at last our "aching voids" were filled, we were appalled at the havoc we had wrought; still no hosts appeared to welcome or rebuke.

Many and grievous perils do environ baby-life by the Ganges,perils of dry nurses, perils by wolves, perils by crocodiles, perils by the Evil Eye, perils by kidnappers, perils by cobras, perils by devils.

"I will beard them, though they be more fanged than wolves and bears."

After the shameful expulsion of Nicuesa, the colonists consumed the provisions Colmenares had brought, and soon, driven by hunger, they were forced to plunder the neighbourhood of the colony like wolves of the forest.

But for our faithful dog Rover, I fear we should have lost heart and left them to the wild wolves.

Our second night in the woods we could hear the wolves howling as we camped at dusk.

After supper we all sat by the fire, while D'ri told how he had been chased by wolves in the beaver country north of us.

"Seems t' me them wolves is comin' nearer," he said thoughtfully.

" We all stood about the fire listening as the wolves came nearer.

The howling of the wolves had ceased.

"More 'n fifty wolves eroun' here," he whispered as we ran up to him.

" Other wolves were swarming over the dead deer, and the two in the traps were snarling and snapping at them.

He and my father reset our traps and hauled the dead wolves into the firelight.

I was up all night heaping wood upon the fires, while D'ri and my father skinned the wolves and dressed the deer.

The great, green-roofed temple of the woods, that had so lately rung with the howl of wolves, began to fill with far wandering echoes of sweet song.
