Beware the Mare

Based on an area of folklore

Beware the Lady Mare

 

Beware the 'mare spectator,

who hurts you as you sleep.

She'll mould your dreams to nightmares

and cackle when you weep.

 

Beware the fear creator,

She'll crush your wracking chest.

She'll torture you 'til morning says

that Death is for the best.

 

Beware the dream invader,

When you sleep, retire with care.

With every nightmare, she creates

a knot within your hair.
