The Dark shroud covers the town, the lights are going down. Hardly a mouse to walk the deserted streets. The Dark road's blood ceased to flow, and here I am walking through the woad. The midnight birds chirp, they hoot while the rest of the forest groans. A hunter arrived early, checking his snares and his grounds, and here I am walking through the woad. My room has calmed, the cat lay still. The dog is gone, and I here am in the woad. When I finally get home, the morning sun has rose. The Moon has gone to rest, I say goodbye to my fair woad. I rest for now, but my time will come, when the men of the hills lay down done for their rest too.
