"The following little poem, entitled `The Warrigal' (Wild Dog)

Are heard in the fog-wreath's grey,
Where the Warrigal wakes, and listens and takes
To the woods that shelter the prey.'"

The inharmonious warrigal
Made, when the darkness swiftly drew
Its curtains o'er the starry blue."

They are all young, and they look not so bad."
