Something I saw today whilst coming off a mountain on Vancouver Island...

my companions gave to me a tease
as i came down the mount’

i’ll stay and never ever leave
i’ll not allow that sprite to weave
on me a spell....as dusk hie’s in the eve
i’ll stay and never ever leave
that strange thing i saw today
as i came down the mount...........
