,&,,,&,&&, Just Off The Coast To The Baltic Sea ,&,&&,,,,,
,,&,,,,&&& There'S A Freshwater Pond, Secluded ,,,&&&,,,,
,,,&,,,&,& Among Ashen And Juniper. A Cleft In The &,,&,&&,,,
,,,,&,,,,& Limestone Bedrock, Sharp-Cut From The &&,,,&&&,,

&&&,,&,&&, They Speak To The Sloane, Caress It, &,,&,&&,,,
&,&&,,,&&& Urge It To Grow Thicker, Tangled, With &&,,,&&&,,
,,&&&,,&,& Longer And Sharper Thorns. They Tell It &&&,,&,&&,
,,&,&&,,,& To Stay Just Below The Grass, So That &,&&,,,&&&
&,,,&&&,,& The Animals What Come To Drink The ,,&&&,,&,&
&&,,&,&&,, Water Cannot See It Before It Draws ,,&,&&,,,&
,&&,,,&&&, Their Blood. Closer To The Pond, The &,,,&&&,,&

,&,&&,,,&& Hide Also In The Juniper. ,&&,,,&&&,

&,,&,&&,,, The Fairies Will Beckon The Animals To ,&,&&,,,&&
&&,,,&&&,, Push Forward, Tell Them That They'Re ,,,&&&,,&,
&&&,,&,&&, Almost At The Water, That They May ,,,&,&&,,,
&,&&,,,&&& Drink Soon. And They Will Tug On The ,,,,,&&&,,
,,&&&,,&,& Sloane To Make Sure That The Thorns Cut ,,,,,&,&&,
,,&,&&,,,& Deep. When They Finally Find The Path ,,,,,,,&&&
&,,,&&&,,& Down Between The Rocks, Away From The ,,,,,,,&,&
&&,,&,&&,, Bushwork And Into The Cleft, They Are ,,,,,,,,,&
,&&,,,&&&, Bleeding From A Thousand Wounds. As &,,,,,,,,&
