Though your heart may be pure and true
and you pray to God each night
youll be a beast when the wolfbane blooms
and the moon is shining bright

Isn't that Wolfgang Greenhous, from the Cavalier suite?

Don't know where the wording originated, but it was certainly quoted in a very classic old black & white film, starring Lon Chaney, about a werewolf - so it was probably 'The Wolf Man'.
The wording might be a quote from somewhere else or could have been written for the film. When you're very little and see a scary film like that, you never forget it. Now all we need is a smiley with his hair standing on end.....

Now all we need is a smiley with his hair standing on end..... Often described as a poem - It appeared in all 4 of the films in the "Wolf Man" (Werewolf of London) series - As far as I know Soidmak wrote it for the film, as well as the rest of the script(s). And a top little poem it is .... used in many Wolfie type films and stories since (Van Hellsing being the most widely known, recent example, I should think). All very Meatloaf and Bat Out Of Hell (or You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth, anyway  ) I always think a writer should be most pleased when something they make up becomes cannon from there on in. No greater tribute, and all that  |
