A full moon shines down And illumines the place An owl makes a kill Without leaving a trace A hare makes a bolt At a break-neck pace Whilst I just watch in silence. A dog-fox calls by Seeking to eat Padding the ground With sturdy fore feet And as dark clouds gather Finds well prepared meat Whilst I just watch in silence. Then a vixen appears As the clouds break to rain She feeds to kill hunger Easing her pain Thus nothing is left Not a crumb nor a stain Whilst I just watch in silence.
