Crow

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Circling above her house.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Caught in a downdraft,
Thrust down her chimney.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Caught in the trap of her house.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Calling for the outside world.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Thinking she has caught him,
He is cursing her.

C row.
Raven of bad omen.
Running from his cursing,
She is crying.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Running from his cursing,
She is crying.

Crow.
Raven of bad omen.
Finally free he is.

Crow. Raven of bad omen
Still cursing he is, still crying
Is she.
