Destiny of a Fool

I had a dream of the crow\'s black feathers

the bright yellow gleam of its eye

It bode me farewell, leapt from its perch

and returned to its place in the sky.

So I wandered through ruins, dreary and cold

with my horse, manservant and slave

Whilst I searched high and low for my fortune in gold

all that I found was my grave.
