Wise crows, raven-kin

Wise crows, raven-kin

Driven from your ancient trees

What home will call you now?

—

Where cosy craft

Of power’s secret circle

Convinces gentle folk

That cut and death and burn

Deliver best the clearing tide.

—

Revealing light?

—

Barren gaps and ugly fires

Of healthy wood consume

Both eye and view in sadness

The darker light made clear.

—

 Be welcome, now

Among our ash and sycamore

The noble wood of sharing

Noisy dawns we will abide, and smile

When joyous roosting fills the brightening sky.

—

Wise crows, raven kin

Driven from your ancient trees

This home will call you now.
