Beneath the bends of Barrymore On the southwest winds she chants some more The clouds scoot by beneath the moon Some say she's crazy like the loon Dressed in black she cackles back Tossing ashes from a sack She throws her body down And moans and sobs into the ground A dagger she does draw it forth Holding it up for all its worth She shrieks and damns her birth And plunges it deep into her heart . . . So ends the life of the despised young **** . . .
Now the owls come silently in Alighting next to still warm skin All walk around the disposed young beast Only uttering "Who" to say the least Then the great owl comes fluttering in He'd be a giant if he were made of men He collectively surveys the scene Takes a few steps before he says a thing "Take her body to Evermoor" The great one orders and implores And all the owls take to wing Holding the remains of the breathless thing And take her earthly shell away And as drops of blood fell from the flow to the earth a white rose would grow Leaving a trail To the land as some will say To the sacred woods of Evermoor Yes sacredness in evermore
