We've roamed the wild country
My beautiful yellow eyes
Side by side we've hunted
Aurora dancing on northern skies

There have been times of plenty
We were content and serene
Peacefully sleeping
Dangers few and far between

We've also known much hunger
Ribs protruding from each side
Mournfully we howled
When our starving cubs had died

And then there was our first winter
Romping thru the glistening snow
Tasting each crystal snowflake
Falling gently to and fro

Ah my dear, sweet yellow eyes
I've known no greater love
Without you, I am nothing
Our wild souls are one

And now you lay there dying
Steel jaws upon your frame
Life's blood slowly seeping
I whimper your sweet name

Helpless, I watch you struggle
Chest heaving with labored breath
Steel jaws clenching tighter
Winds whisper the song of death

The blood has now stopped flowing
I know the time is near
And you will forever leave me
My love, my life, my dear

And now my world is silent
Your struggles now have ceased
I lay my head upon you
And know you are at peace

Perhaps your soul has lifted
To skies where eagles soar
And there you'll greet your brothers
To run with them forever more

And someday I shall find you
In the heaven's so far above
And when our wild soul's unite
There'll be no greater love
