He sniffed the wolves
~found them wanting
Wolves sniffed of him
~found him daunting
The shepherd fears
not beast of prey
With shiverin' lambs
he greets each day
Upon the hills
and braky glen~
shepherd watches
o'er his friends
And when the night
calls lambs to sleep
the shepherd sings
while grey wolves weep.
