Amergin's Charm...( c.800 )

[suzze]

I am a stag: of seven tines,
I am a flood: across a plain,
I am a wind: on a deep lake,
I am a tear: the Sun lets fall,
I am a Hawk: above the cliff,
I am a thorn: beneath the nail,
I am a wonder: among flowers,
I am a wizard, who but I
Sets the cool head aflame with smoke?

I am a spear: that roars for blood,
I am a salmon: in a poolI am a lure
