| Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936). Verse: 1885–1918. 1922. | | | | Hunting-song of the Seeonee Pack |
| | | AS the dawn was breaking the Sambhur belled— | |
| Once, twice and again! | |
| And a doe leaped up, and a doe leaped up | |
| From the pond in the wood where the wild deer sup. | |
| This I, scouting alone, beheld, | 5 |
| Once, twice and again! | |
| |
| As the dawn was breaking the Sambhur belled— | |
| Once, twice and again! | |
| And a wolf stole back, and a wolf stole back | |
| To carry the word to the waiting pack, | 10 |
| And we sought and we found and we bayed on his track | |
| Once, twice and again! | |
| |
| As the dawn was breaking the Wolf Pack yelled | |
| Once, twice and again! | |
| Feet in the jungle that leave no mark! | 15 |
| Eyes that can see in the dark—the dark! | |
| Tongue—give tongue to it! Hark! O Hark! | |
| Once, twice and again! | | | | |
