The Huntsman’s name is Death,
his horses’ name is Time
they’re out to catch my breath
at the end of my line.
They wait in the shadows
they watch me at prayer
they blanket me in woe
they simply linger there.
Death and Time are good friends
they are the foes of man
every life they attend
every life they brand.
Inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Huntsman’
