For those who know bitter hurt...



Poem Artwork


In the forest.. light the fires,


Fan the flames of hate and despair


summon the song of revenge


to be danced with bitter cursing feet...


all of ye... dance with me the song  to avenge


the name of the lass o the glens


 


avenge my besmirched honour


curse the day of his birth


he.. who so carelessly profaned


a lass 


beyond his ken and worth


 



Circle the flames 3 times round,


yea, three times round again,


cursed shall he be


his soul never free


of the pain of his inhuman folly


 


By rowan and holly


may our dancing feet


crush his life into dust


Take the profane


into the flames


and cleanse this lass


of his wounds


 


Burn out the hatred


sear away scorn


from his bitter lying mouth


Leaving his bones to smolder alone


under a blanket of good clean earth


 


Dance into freedom,


Dance into joy, 


Dance away all of the hurt


 


Never again in wood or in glen


Shall the cruel  Black Thane be heard..


his lying tongue... silenced forever


by the red haired lass


with the dancing feet


and the shattered heart... 


never  to dance again..


 


She dwells there still in sunlight and shadow


beyond mere mortals ken


lass of the woods


witch of the earth


silenced forever..


deep in the haunted glen


 


cupping the ashes of her love...


she wanders bog and fen


seeking the heart


lost forever


that long dark night in the glen

This has the ambience of an old folk song, I'd love to reread it in ballad style.
But having said that, this version is totally excellent.
