Title:
The Forest
Trees mingle, like ebony branches And patches, yellow and decayed In the moonlight, white branches sway Blood drips from the branches As the dead pay Nymphs dance, parasites prance And in darkness prey In the clearings lie magical cottages Where the dead play And daytime comes and the forest is green And peaceful, as from the mountains come streams The water is clear And all are free from fear God is merciful, but a little too generous Bountiful harvests and fields of happy peasants And the wtches work magic and fly on their brooms And creep around at night eating babies hearts out with spoons The magical forest full of knowledge and power From the mightiest tree, to the smallest flower
