The Grey Wolf Lyrics by Harry Burleigh

0

The grey wolf comes again: I had made fast
The door with chains; how has the grey wolf passed
My threshold? I have nothing left to give:
Go from me now, grey wolf, and let me live!
I have fed you once, given all you would, given all
I had to give, I have been prodigal;
I am poor now, the table is but spread
With water and a little wheaten bread;
You have taken all I ever had from me:
Go from me now, grey wolf, and let me be!
Thе grey wolf, crouching by the bolted door
Waits, watching for his food upon thе floor;
I see the old hunger and the old thirst for blood
Rise up, under his eyeballs like a flood:
What shall I do that the grey wolf may go?
This time, I have no store of meat to throw;
He waits; but I have nothing left, and I stand
Helpless, and his eyes fasten on my hand
O grey wolf, grey wolf, will you not depart
Unless I feed you with my heart?
