From Canada she came

To become the snow-colored wonder of fame.

She walked the hills of time

And cared for two generations of the same line.

Her voice once echoed from the hill

But now is silenced, her whiteness still.

What was this marvel of nature, this wonderful sign?

She was simply a wolf, known as number thirty-nine.
