Solivagus Posted March 26, 2003 Report Posted March 26, 2003 I was a flame, Flaming in fire, I was a hare, Hiding in briar, I was a drop, Running in the rain, I was a scythe, Slicing the grain. Axe and Tree, Ship and sea, Naught that lives, Is strange to me. I was a beggar, Pleading a meal, I was a warrior, Sword of steel, I was a falcon, Flying high, I was a deer, Scampering by. Axe and tree, Ship and sea, Naught that lives, Is strange to me.
