First Line: The hounds of earth have chased their prey
Last Line: You hunters of the hare.
Subject(s): Animals; Hunting; Hunters
The hounds of earth have chased their prey
Unto the nether wall
And now they stand hoarse-voiced at bay
The game must fight or fall.
And fight they will, for life is sweet
And no one knows to what white heat
The poor will rise when pressed by fear
Of losing all they hold most dear.
Therefore I say beware, beware,
You hunters of the hare.
