Bow Hunting

Secret songs of mighty power

Waves crash forth and all devour


Shaft is long and tip is sharp

As bow song rings out from the dark


Light the light that doesn't burn

Let's sing the song that doesn't turn


Then from the woods the shout rings out

Telling all theirs game about


The hunter's eye is quick and keen

Just like a falcon on its game


As single fletch streaks from the dark

To down the bore whose tusks are great


Single arrow decides your fate

Hunting, ones only dread


To miss the game to which the shaft has fled

So practice good and practice hard


So you can count on daily bread

Sing secret songs of mighty power


As bow relaxes and devours

        'The games afoot '

           'Aye ! Their all on display '

             'Quiver be full ?'

                'Aye '

                  'Then hunting be good ' he shouted


As to the woods the archers strode

Singing secret songs of mighty power


Into the woods there to devour !
