þæs wuduwealdes cræft (The Power of the Wild)
The pale sunlight shone
Like ladders down the trees
The beasts of the night had gone
replaced by the humming of bees
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
Her path was well prepared
She knew where she wanted to go
Not knowing though if she dared
Her paces had started to slow
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
The cracking sound of a branch
Made her startle and give up a cry
Continued as if in a trance
But a tear had appeared in her eye
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
Such forceful gravitational pull
That place in the forest presented
Even though her life was full
That power was unprecedented
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
It grabbed her without a warning
Twisted and bent her thought
Midnight replaced the bright morning
Her captor she never fought
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
Though strange and slightly deform
His presence itself was enough
His touch was a violent storm
Soon her old self she would slough
Moþor hogaþ
Þæt þu
Þæs wuduwealdes cræft
Oferfarene
Totally transformed she was
When they found her the coming day
Her hands had turned into claws
And her soul had been taken away
Moþor bewépeþ
þu þæs wuduwealdes cræft
