Redfern on a hill, whistling in dulcimer breeze
Elven maid strumming to a forgotten tune
She remembers only from a grandmother’s lullaby
Before Men came to ignorantly burn and chop
Fairies played tag between golden towering trees
Exotic birds belted song to bring in sunny days
And great beasts drank in clear waters at the edge
Now there’s only a single tree swaying in sad silence
But Elves have long memories and the bard plays on
Remembering days when magic and heroism won
