Caught

Good hunter who
Am I the fair lass of slim
Waist and blackbird hair or
The deer caught aquiver in the glimmer
Of your knife put your hand here and feel my
Heart beat will you box it as a present to your queen
Or let it flourish wild in the deep forest the air
Trembles with danger give me a
Head start it's a brambled
Path to safety
