• She waits for him down by the calm meadow.
    He finally appears into her view.
    The dark creature there disturbs the shadow.
    His sharp teeth are bared, his clothes are askew.

    Her strong heart beats fast. Her breath is keening.
    He takes her into his cold, stone wall arms.
    She can tell he’s moving without seeing.
    He doesn’t try to cause her any harm.

    He looks for her among the evil thieves.
    She waits for him on the darkest of nights.
    His lovely maiden hidden by the trees.
    On the blustery winds, he takes his flight.

    But soon the scorching sun brings in the light.
    And then he leaves his lady of the night.
