WOOD SPIRIT

Softly the night falls, as leaves make my bed.
Quietly I sleep in the woods, peacefully dead.
My prince will come thou I know not when.
He arrives and I awaken then.

Squirrels play among the trees.
Dropping nuts by my knees.
Crows call in greenly browning branches.
I wait for my prince, asleep.
