The rain and the night together Came down, and the wind came after. Bending the props of the pine tree roof, And snapping many a rafter. I crept along in the darkness. Stunned, and bruised, and blinded; Crept to a fir with thick-set boughs, And a sheltering rock behind it. There, from the blowing and raining, Crouching, I sought to hide me. Something rustled; two green eyes shone And a wolf lay down beside me! His wet for pressed against me; Each of us warmed the other; Each of us felt, in the stormy dark. That beast and man were brother. And when the falling forest No longer crashed in warning, Each of us went from our hiding place Forth in the wild, wet morning. Bayard Taylor HOME AND COW .ZY
