The world was small,
the woods were deep,
the stag with a cross
did run and leap
his antlers twining, like the trees
their branches winding
in the breeze
The cave was dark,
the stars were bright
stories written in them
poems and songs they used to sing
before the wind did take them
The seas were great,
the fires blazing
the warriors ran,
their torches raising
with spears and bows, and swords to pierce
silver dripping, shining
eyes so fierce
She ran with the river,
she knew it by name
she spoke with her grandfather,
woodpecker's wings
She danced with the fields
and the sunrise of red
she lived in a house
in a spirit, words read
The world was small,
the woods were deep
the way they still are
in the land where she sleeps.
