      The wolf howls in the forest of the night. He wants, but cannot sleep. Hunger tears his wolf's belly, and it is cold, in his stove [archaic, dialectal, in the dated English sense]. You [or "Hey," as a kind of vocative] wolf, you wolf, do not come here [hither, to here]. My child you will never have.
