Wolf Cries to the Silent Moon

Villanelle

1.       Come late or come soon

2.       That ominous nightingale

3.       The wolf cries to the silent moon

 

4.       Like going hunting for a raccoon

5.       Or a plane designed to fail

6.       Come late or come soon

 

7.       A weeping tune

8.       That turns the skin pale

9.       The wolf cries to the silent moon

 

10.   In late June

11.   The ship shall sail

12.   Come late or come soon

 

13.   Lost in a desert dune

14.   Forever a depressing tale

15.   The wolf cries to the silent moon

 

16.   The sun high at noon

17.   Waiting for this male

18.   Come late or come soon

19.   The wolf cries to the silent moon
