Canto VI

Canto VI

Close to the house of Istray

Came a ferocious and frightening fiend,

Traveling the road slowly,

Leering at the people he passed.

He was known as the Baying Wolf, the beast that

Haunted houses of the disappeared.

His name was feared, and

All sensible souls barred their doors at

The sound of him. The foolish few

That did not were gone by morning.

None were seen again, and

Whether they lived or lost their lives by

The Baying Wolf is not to be known.
