In Country Sleep

I

Never and never, my girl riding far and near
In the land of the hearthstone tales, and spelled asleep,
Fear or believe that the wolf in the sheepwhite hood
Loping and bleating roughly and blithely shall leap,
My dear, my dear,
Out of a lair in the flocked leaves in the dew dipped year
To eat your heart in the house in the rosy wood

Dylan Thomas

I like it! Sent a shiver down my spine (although that could be the weather, hee hee). Red Riding Hood I assume? Always was a dark fairy tale......
