From “Songs”
Gird thy warrior’s armor on, And fare thou forth thyself alone.

Secret presence in the hall;
In the closets we abide
Of the whole green country side.
Priest, who took a martyr’s life.
Cruel pirate of the main;
Soldier, wounded in the back;
Just the tendency to sleep.
Secret presence in the hall;
In the closets we abide
Of the whole green country side.
