A short poem: a pack of wolves embark on a quest at the request of their leader.
They begin the quest a frenzied gust

In trial through the shadowed dusk

Through hail and strife

By man and knife

The howling heed their call



O'er stone and thorn they pad and stride

Their gaze a constant backward slide

For 'hind them be

Their glory, she

Ah, onward for her sake they crawl



In pity watch the onward struggle

In wonder see their climb

In sorrow see their feet now crumble

For they shant reach that mountainside
