The Wolf Appears
The wolf appears at night,
howling for his lost love,
she was the beauty with
red hair which flowed with
the wind while she sang
a lonely love song for her
Prince of Beasts, beckoning
him to appear before her
and unchain her from her
imprisonment that was imposed
by the wicked Queen Fredericka
who was jealous of her beauty.
While the hour was late and
Queen Fredericka was fast asleep
in her queenly suite, the wolf
appeared before the window of
his imprisoned red-headed beauty,
and whispered sweet words of love to her,
breaking the spell by having the walls of
the prison disappear and making sure
the wicked queen would never wake
up from her sleep.
Instantly, the wolf transformed into the
Prince of Beasts as he and his love
galloped away on his white steed
to his castle far, far away where they lived
in perpetual happiness as they raised
their children to understand that sometimes
their father was known to howl at the full moon,
to break any evil spells that might appear at their
door and to be made aware of any women
called Fredericka.
