On a hill overlooking a lake....
     She waits patiently for her love....
    Watching the sun as it's shimmering light...
 Dances across the tranquil blue waters....
    The scent of summer blooms fills the air....
   Bringing pleasure while intoxicating her senses....
    A bird sings out from the near by forest....
      It's song sweet and soft....
  An enchanting picture this does create....
  The maiden by the waters edge waiting....
   Ever watchful, listening for her lover's step....
The morning slips into the afternoon....  
  The warm sun on her face is comforting....  
The warmth of the rays comfort       and soothe her....
      As she sits on the hill overlooking the lake....
     An eagle soars high above screaming out through the silence
    Thoughts fill her mind of the love they have shared....
   The image of his loving face, becomes clear in her mind's eye....

  The thrill of his strong sweet kiss on her lips....
  Passion unleashed by his gently exploring touch....
   Moments lost in the ecstasy of their lovemaking....
   She is overwhelmed by the images of them together as one...
     The outside world no longer existing for them....
 For in the passion of their lovemaking....
     They have created a world that is just for them....

     Dusk is creeping slowly in, she wonders where he is....
      A promise is sacred between the two....
       In her heart, she knows that he will come....

  The sound of the wolf's cry can be heard....
  Lonely and sorrowful on the breeze....
 A feeling of despair begins to fill her heart....
  Fear for him has begun to consume her....
  The sound of a twig breaking startles the maiden....
  She turns expecting to see her love standing there....
   Instead she sees a beautiful wolf watching her....

   From a distance he looks at her searchingly....
  With what seems to be a look of longing....
    She feels no fear as she looks back at him....
    Some how knowing he means her no harm....
    Entranced by his eyes she feels safe with him near....
   Not knowing why, but her heart tells her it's so....
    As suddenly as he appeared he is gone....
  Leaving behind in her heart an emptiness unexplained...

   As she starts to rise to leave this place....
   A warrior appears out of the forest....
    Telling her what she already knows in her heart....
     No lover will she meet tonight, no love will there be shared....
  He is gone from her, never to return....
     Overcome with sorrow she runs to the edge of the cliff....
    With tears running down her face.....
      Pain fills her soul and consumes her heart....
     She can not go on with out him....
   The howling of the wolf can be heard loud and sorrowful.....
    As she leaps over the high rocky cliff....
     To once again join her lover in death....

    On nights when the moon is full and bright....
   In the enchanted place on the hill overlooking the lake....
   You can see the two wolf mates together sitting under the tree....
   Looking out over the lake.....
   Together again, lovers once more....
