First Line: Unleash the hounds
Last Line: Far music glides.
Subject(s): Animals; Dogs; Hunting; Hunters
Unleash the hounds,
We hunt tonight.
The moon still sleeps,
But long before
The hounds have "treed,"
She'll mount the sky
On winged steed.
We wait the tryst,
And rake the straw
To glowing flame.
We know the while
This woodland flare
Can rival not
The huntress fair.
Through leafy shade
A new light gleams.
The resinous flame
Grows pale indeed.
The huntress rides!
Away to hounds,
Far music glides.
