Answer 9

“If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
Crying to the moo-oo-oon,
"If only, if only.”

Those are the lyrics to the song that Madame Zeroni teaches to Elya Yelnats. At the end of the book, the person we can assume is Zero's mom is singing the song below to him.

“If only, if only, the moon speaks no reply;
Reflecting the sun and all that's gone by.
Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly.
Fly high, my baby bird,
My angel, my only”
