The Hound

In wind and rain you'll hear his sound,
Swiped roughly off his feet,
Thrust to the ground here cries the hound,
Whose heart could not compete.

His thrashing paws amongst the mud,
To rise and fall again,
With gnarling tooth and bruising bone,
His bark did break but then - 

The lakes did burn within his eyes,
The hills moved at his name,
Here howls the hound with name compound
To blood, to fight, to flame.
