Black Doe

Out on a recent foray

Into the wild

Someone was watching us

There like a brace of blackened bone

Mother and child

Think they know more than us

I would dare any one of you

To meet their gaze

And not be left to wonder

Looming like statues in the shimmering haze

This is the spell I'm under

Black Doe

Black Roe

Leaping with ease they soon

Break the divide

'Tween what is real and seemed

And by their awful stillness

Awed am I

Oh, do they know my dreams?

So step like a ghost

And hold your breath for a while

You are a guest in their land

Black Doe

Black Roe

Black Doe

Black Roe

Black Doe
