Leshy

"Watch out for the Leshy, for he is sly. Is that he? That tree? Or is that he? The wind in the tree?" - (Russian Folk Tale) Leshy Green haired creature of the wood His skin as blue as his hot blood I saw him there behind a tree But then he disappeared Leshy Sat on a swaying branch up high Watching his land with heedful eyes He looked at me with a big grin And vanished with the wind Leshy Without shadow, full of trick A laughter right behind your back He's howling, he's leading you astray Until you will lose your way Leshy Spirit, keeper, waggishly In a coat of moss and leaves His eyes were sparkling like the sun And pointed right at me Leshy Without shadow, full of trick A laughter right behind your back He's howling, he's leading you astray Until you will lose your way Leshy Don't be nasty, don't be cruel I won't harm your forest home Please be gracious, please be kind Allow me just to roam
