Mary Epworth Black Doe
[Verse 1]
Out on a recent foray
Into the wild
Someone was watching us
There like a brace of blackened bone
Mother and child
Think they know more than us
I would dare any one of you
To meet their gaze
And not be left to wonder
Blooming like statues in the shimmering haze
This is the spell I'm under
[Chorus]
Black Doe
Black Doe
Black Doe
[Verse 2]
Leaping with ease they soon
Break the divide
'Tween what is real and seemed
And by their awful stillness
Awed am I
Oh, do they know my dreams?
So step like a ghost
And hold your breath for a while
You are a guest in their land
[Chorus]
Black Doe
Black Doe
Black Doe
Black Doe
Black Doe
Black Doe
