Poetic Work of the Day

A poem by greenkangero, written specifically for a fanfiction.

Thief's Lullaby

"Way, hey, over the hill,
"The fox he sleeps and the crow is still,
"But does the magpie care a whit?
"Not for the dark, no, not a bit-"

"Way hey, over the hill,
"The king his crown is ruby short,
"And flies the magpie to the north,
"And to him every door is shut- "

"Way, hey, over the hill,
"Castle quiet, guard is still,
"And magpie flies back to his nest
"To give his nestlings ruby rest..."
