1. On Vaermina's Aspect of Fear

On Vaermina's Aspect of Fear

As hunted hinds of babes from monsters cruel

So from the first of time I've fled from thee.

My back so turned I hide, my eyes can't see

Thy pace ne'er slack, and patience passion fuel.

As hind I say "I flee thee for my life!"

And in a forest guise thou say'st, "Thou fool,

The harvest thou'dst let stand's not mine to rule,

But grows and falls upon my sibling's scythe."

"Though not thy state, thou beat'st my heart and mind."

Thou smile'st and speak'st, "'Tis out of care for thee,

To ward thee and prepare thee, pupil mine,

I show thee horrors true and false to find.

Still masked as hunter, prey, babe, ghoul, or guide,

Through fear and courage I'll be at thy side."
