Explore "The Wolves" by Elizabeth Madox Roberts on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Grandmother Polly had married and gone, / But before her father had given her Clem, / Or Joe, or Sandy, or Evaline -- / Before he had given her any of "them",
She used to live in a far-away place, / In a little cabin that was her home, / And all around were bushes and trees, / And the wolves could come.
At night they ran down out of the rocks / And bristled up their trembly fur. / They came and howled by Polly's door / And showed their little white teeth at her.
