The Hooded Crow
A hooded crow sat on an oak And watched where the line of battle broke.
A hooded crow sat on an ash- He hears the spears’ and the shields’ clash.
A hooded crow sat on a pine: The long bows are bent, the swift arrows whine.
A hooded crow sat on an elm: The broad sword batters the bright-plumed helm.
A hooded crow sat on a yew: On Bosworth field lies a crimson dew.
A hooded crow sat on a thorn, Where the crown of England had rolled, forlorn.
