Analysis of Wolf's Dream



One foggy night on Devil's hill,

Stood a creature that ate his fill,

Of poets words that were served up,

By kindly folks to a starving pup,

But as the fog began to lift,

Belly full with precious gift,

He stretched and bade a fond farewell,

To the blissful high of a poet's spell.
