In the night I see the grey dogs creeping, out of the sleeping men

Who are cowards, who are liars, who are traitors, who have no dreams

That prick their ears like a rabbit, or browse in the dark like deer,

But whose dreams are dogs, grey dogs with yellow mouths.

From the liars, from the thieves, from the false and treacherous and mean

I see the grey dogs creeping out, where my deer are browsing in the dark.

Then I take my knife, and throw it upon the grey dog.

And lo! it sticks between the ribs of a man!

The house of the grey dog!

Beware! Beware!
