WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?

(JZ)

They say man is a wolf to man
I wish it were so
Wolf, sweet wolf,
Neither big nor bad,
Why are they so afraid?


Is it your faithfulness,
Your stubborn strength,
Your singing friendship with the moon
and the deep grey sky,
Your secret alliance with the sombre foliage,
Your inscrutable bond with your kin
they envy so much?
