Awaiting the Dragon The wind whips wet snow through my hair, my beard And stings the sight from my eyes. Out over the grey, restless water I peer. And wait for the dragons to come. Beneath my feet, the drenched heather soaks Dark through my thin leather shoes I shelter behind my stout wooden shield While I wait for the dragons to come. The comforting weight of my short-blade seax Rests slick in my quivering hand Is it the cold that makes it shake so Or is it the dragons to come? They have come here before, these wolfhounds from hell With their axe and their long-shafted spear Our warriors perished, our children enslaved At the hands of the dragons to come. I must keep from sleep, though my eyes beg for rest I must stand my watch across the bay For the raven-crest sails will drive through the sleet Then I will know that the dragons have come. |
