Herne The Hunter

By Alwyn

I am Herne the hunter and you are a leaf driven by the wind of change.
My home is within nature; I'm from a long distant age.
Visions of hunting are what I see,
As I walk through the forest of the ancient trees.

My hunting skills sharpen as I stalk the wild boar.
That's what I do best in the old forest lore.
I carve my tools with my woodcraft skills.
I meditate alone with the sternest of will.

King Richard did favour the words that I spoke.
As my fellow hunters made trophies carved from the oak.
These are a few words taken from my forestry life.
Protect yourselves wisely from troubles and strife.
