The Gray Rook

The most interesting poem about birds.

The gray rook stands stalwart against all opposition,

Keeper of the snowy storm,

Stone weathered and cracked with age,

Still mighty like the orc

Still wise like the elf

Still sturdy like the dwarf

The gray rook stands over the landscape watching the moon dance with the sun,

For God shines his light upon thee, gray rook,

Steel and stone have been tried against you,

Yet tumble not will your stones,

Stand stalwart, gray rook,

For time shall bury you nary more,

For your vigil shall live on.
