HOW IT IS BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN



the moon was full, he felt the pull and wandered from the hunt
his father called and brothers all, yes we will find my son 
oh brother lost oh brother oh a vale of trees he found
oh brother lost oh brother climbed in high above the ground

tightly squeezed through thorny trees, he saw a pool there
in it a maiden bathing and the moonlight draped her hair
oh brother lost oh brother oh she hadn't on a stitch
oh brother lost oh brother let a whistle from his lips

stillness breached she could not reach up to her folded dress
oh his eyes burned she quickly turned and soaked him with a splash
oh brother lost oh brother oh all wet and in a daze
oh brother lost oh brother oh it did not break his gaze

if luck befell, you're free to tell you saw me in the nude
now afright, the moon alight, his feet grew into hooves
oh brother lost oh brother antlers sprouting from his crown
oh brother lost oh brother now he's scared and off he bounds

o'er hills and logs, the bark of dogs lends him to a breath
he turns to shout, come get me out, but his mouth the message kept 
oh brother lost oh brother oh they're gaining on you now
oh brother lost oh brother chased down by the hounds

father yelled, my boys be well, our hounds have found a stag
although one less, our god has blessed and filled our hunting bag
oh brother lost oh brother oh we search unto the dawn
oh brother lost oh brother oh yes we will find my son




quoncunque jeceris stabit
