Lamentations I: Under the Tree

It started small
A butterfly captured
A fish caught
A sheep put down
All to the cause
Your blessed life.

It grew then after
A pixie
A rat
A goblin
All to the cause
Your blessed life.

It blossomed in fullness
From a horkval
From a tso'laa
From a mhun
All to the cause
Your blessed life.

Accomplishments in power
A claim justified
An evil destroyed
A sacrifice made
All to the cause
Your blessed life.

Your life made powerful
Your abilities made strong
Your acts in the land noteworthy
Your deeds spoken of reverently
Your name written in the annals of history
Your blessed life.

How long will it be
Until you grow from me, too
A victim to your great cause
And your blessed life~
While I rest unmoving from your hand
In the arms of Yggdrasil.
