Ravens
You hover in darkness
It covers thy flight
Heroes who soar
Through the night
Winging gracefully
To my side
Waiting, for soon
Dawn will arrive
Lightly you touch
Upon the ground
Here you know
Rest will be found
Gather your family
Close my dears
For winter has come
So very near
This place is a haven
For you and yours
Think of these tithes
As your rewards
My love for you
Knows no bounds
Your beauty, intellect
And grace surrounds
For when you are near
My heart won’t close
Wherever I am
You are always close
You sing for me
To ease my pain
Your gifts to me
Are not in vain
Few understand
Some do fear
What are ravens?
Doing here
Is it some omen?
Will someone die?
Do not be foolish
No need to cry
They have a soul
That shines so bright
They are my family
Joy and light
They are here
To merry meet
Now take flight
Nest and sleep
