“Through the forest
She flits with grace
In the dance of life
Love and death at her heels
She passes through the towers
Like a bird in flight
Always moving
Lithe in light
Then she pauses
Looking to see
Where is the handmaiden
To protect her?
Where is the lord
Who has sworn
Eternal fealty
With sword and shield?
Now she dances alone
She is one and all
A woman warrior reborn”
