1. Perhaps I'll go out with my dog
Seeking game with my companion

2. So we headed for the rough ground with him
And set him on a gazelle

3. She circled around so he circled her
Pawing the ground on both sides

4. He harried her while she was distracted
In the sands of dawn and dusk

5. Her companions fled like
Two intertwined cables undone

6. Except for a little doe that lingered
With her heart pounding in her chest

7. He held his jaws together on her throat
As you would clasp your hands together

8. And it ended with her collapse just as
A flame is extinguished by the wind

9. The billy goat approached when she fell
And drew near in wonder

10. Remaining by the fallen doe, annoyed
By her burden across his shoulders

11. Those were my pleasures when I was a youth
Never tiring of such delights
