As the dawn was breaking the Sambhur belledOnce, twice, and again!And a doe leaped up--and a doe leaped upFrom 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 belledOnce, twice, and again!And a wolf stole back--and a wolf stole backTo carry the word to the waiting Pack;And we sought and we found and we bayed on his trackOnce, twice, and again!
As the dawn was breaking the Wolf-pack yelledOnce, 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!
