The Badger's Wake

Below the frosted up roots

Below the green sand deep

Below the pond green woods

That's where the badgers do sleep

Below the frosted up roots

Below the green sand deep

Below the pond green woods

That's where the badgers do sleep

Deep as a solitary stone

In grays and crimsons and greens

In slumber of blood and bone

The badger lies still as he dreams

I hear one last slow breath

Underneath the beech tree home

The smell of badger's death

In the ground leaves a mighty hole

And so an evening dies

On the trees the ash bloods break

If you look there, you'll see the last sunrise

In time for the badger's wake
