Marlfox

Начало книги

This is a secret nobeast may know.

Marlfox!

Plundering murdering vulpine thieves,

Who blend with stone,

Or meld with leaves.

Marlfox!

See the pale eyes and swirling cloak,

Appear like nightmare,

Vanish like smoke.

Marlfox!

What steals upon the silent air,

Gleaming fangs, mottled fur,

A deadly axblade lying there.

Marlfox!

Nobeast living can hide from thee,

O thou who treads invisibly,

Cross hill and vale, through woods and rocks.

Marlfox!

Marlfox!

Marlfox!

PROLOGUE

Who are we but strolling players,

Wand'ring through the long ago,

Joys and sadness, hopes and longings,

Keep us traveling onward though

The laughter and applause of others,

Who view the passing cavalcade,

Leave echoes hovering some far summer,

Floating round a woodland glade.

'Twas but a tale for your amusement,

Like my small unworthy rhyme,

Gone, alas, into those realms,

The land of once upon a time.
