Ogre Boulder

Mist in the mountains
Getting colder

All around
The Ogre Boulder

Tides in the moon
Know nothing older

Than rocks and woods
Round Ogre Boulder

Crystal shapes
Are moving over

Towards the crows
Of Ogre Boulder

The crows and rooks
Of Ogre Boulder

Mist in the mountains
Getting colder

All around
The Ogre Boulder
