Once I sat upon a rock
Afraid that night would fall
I'd lost my lamp as well as my way
And heard a raven call
Then I saw a man in black
With skin as fair as snow
Tall and thin, with stars in his eyes
He told me where to go
"Follow me," said he and smiled
"And I will show you the way
Worry not about wasting my time
For I have got all day"
I took his hand, he helped me up
But nary said he a word
Night soon fell but I did not fear
Though ravens I had heard
When finally the dawn approached
I turned to him, confused
We were back to where we began
"Where were we going?" I mused
"Your path is where you choose"
Said he, stars flared in his eyes
Then a raven alighted on his shoulder
And they faded into the skies
"Where is my path?" I asked the road
"For I have not chosen this!"
As fear returned the dream then faded
And then I woke from bliss
Morning had begun whilst I slept
And the sun that shone was bright
But vaguely I recalled from the dream lost
His eyes had given more light
Pictures that in sleep were clear
Were fuzzy, aged with waking
But still I saw, the only clear thing
A raven, and a king
