The Vulpine Lullaby

Sleep young one, rest your head

Return soothingly to your earthen bed

Rest those weary eyes that long for sleep

Trust my love for you ill keep

Rest young vulpine in your hallow

Fear not the distant wolf's mournful howl

Let your dreams have no woe

And let your paws be warm in snow

Sleep young kit upon thy fur

Rest till morning birds do stir

Let not evil grace your dreams

For ill protect you by any means

Let not the badger disturb your den

While you rest your sleep heavy head

May you nose stay warm in you grotto

And never bothered by mans bellows

May your spirit remain wild and free

While you sleep for you and me

Trust that ill watch you tonight

By the color of the ruby moon light

Let no one find your haven

For which the world's been craven

Let them never see your soft red fur

For then you won't have it much longer

Trust not the lies of man

My little vulpine youngin

Avoid there snares and you will see

The thing called human stupidity

Let your wits ever stump them

May you never hear them hunting

For I worry so much for you

My little kit covered in morning dew

You are strong and you are quick

My lovely little red furred kit

Soon you will leave me but not today

So sleep young kit and rest the day away
