Fox-Trot

By the stream the fox and she-fox stood
Nose to nose beneath the stars
Dancing the music of the woods.

The deer rapped a beat with their hooves,
The ravens sang from raven hearts
As by the stream the fox and she-fox stood.

The great owl called as a great owl would,
The squirrels all shimmied in the dark,
Dancing the music of the woods.

Then from the north a fierce wind blew
And broke the starry dance apart
By the stream where the fox and she-fox stood.
