The Open Fold

Ravenous wolves chase me

To a rocky cleft just below the edge

Of a steep promontory point,

Casting aside their sheep’s garb,

They bark at my head from above,

Leap at my flanks from either side,

And nip at my heels from not too far

below.

But I do not hear

Nor do I fear them,

For by their foul smelling breath

I knew they were near,

And in all haste I did directly run

For the open fold

Of my Good Shepherd’s robe.
