I dreamed I was an Otter
In sheltered leats I lay
They I heard a sound I feared
And then I saw their coats
All smeared in blood
I knew my fate –
Nowhere to hide.
I dreamed I was a Red Stag,
In pastures grazing
And then I heard a hunting-horn
Ringing out its song –
The Song of Death
We know so well
How can I tell?
For I, I am the Sun
I am the Moon
I am the Stars up above
Now what are they doing to my little friends?
I make everything and it all dies in the end.
I dreamed I was a Big Bear,
Bespectacled and brown
And then I saw two shafts of fire
Shooting through the sky –
I heard no more
Save drops of rain,
I cannot explain...
I dreamed I was a Grey Seal,
My clubs for suckling
And then they came with sticks and clubs
And beat away my brains –
I heard no more
Save children's cries
Helpless to die.
For I, I am the Sun
I am the Moon
I am the Stars up above
Now what are they doing to my little friends?
I make everything and it all dies in the end.
