As the dawn was breaking the Sambhur belled
Once, twice and again
And a doe leaped up, and a doe leaped up
From the pond in the wood where the wild deer sup.
This I, scouting alone, beheld
Once, twice and again
As the dawn was breaking the Sambhur belled
Once, twice and again
And a wolf stole back, and a wolf stole back
To carry the word to the waiting pack
And we sought and we found and we bayed on his track
Once, twice and again
As the dawn was breaking the Wolf Pack yelled
Once, twice and again
Feet in the jungle that leave no mark
Eyes that can see in the dark—the dark
Tongue—give tongue to it! Hark! O hark
Once, twice and again
