Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? The warping night air having brought the boom Of an owl's voice into her darkened room We tell the wakened child that all she heard Was an odd question from a forest bird Asking of us, if rightly listened to "Who cooks for you?" and then, "Who cooks for you?" Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Words, which can make our terrors bravely clear Can also thus domesticate a fear And send a small child back to sleep at night Not listening for the sound of stealthy flight Or dreaming of some small thing in a claw Borne up to some dark branch and eaten raw Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you?
