Whish—whirr! on his track

Fast at his heels comes a flying pack!

Baying, snapping,

Howling, yelling!

Can he get away?

There is no telling!

Fly little swift feet over dale and hill,

Take him dashing, flashing by the mill;

Tips of his toes, twinkle, twinkle fast,

Don't let the dogs eat him up at last!
