RED RIDING-HOOD'S WOLF

By Albert Bigelow Paine

Oh, this is the wolf that Red Riding-hood found

When she came to her grandmother's bed,

Her ears were so long and her eyes big and round,

While her voice had a strange and a terrible sound

When she answered what Riding-hood said,

For alas, the grandmother was dead.

And Little Red Riding-hood sprang with a bound

Through the doorway and hastily fled,

Oh, my,

In terror she hastily fled.
