Winters dark / wolves howl in the north
until the Greybeard whistles them forth
Midnights long / owls hoot in the snow
until the Greybeard wakens below
.......
Greybeard pondering markings unknown
roots of the tree / lines in the stone
Greybeard wandering larkings alone
long in the tooth / one eye his own
.......
Summers bright / bears growl in the wood
until the Greybeard gathers his hood
Midnights short / crows caw in the air
until the Greybeard becomes aware
