The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
The boy who cried wolf,
he never heard the wolf cry
when the villagers would come
and the wolf waited to die.
Staring forlorn
up at the cold moon,
he howls each night
his lonely tune.
His song shivers
down your spine,
and around your heart
will entwine
his tears
they pin-prick
your heart will sear
at this feeling
so silently clear.
Hush your mind
tip-toe, tip-toe,
if you choose
to hear the wolf's
story of woe.
His howl makes
the sleeping trees dance
the moon will cry
and the wind come prance
We hear these things
as they whisper and move,
but no one ever hears
the cry of the wolf. ❋
