She..

She was wrapped in red

And tucked in a basket

And they carried her away

Where it is neither dark nor day

Into the woods she was cast away

Away from men away from their kind

All they heard was a howl so loud

Leaving the basket and her to die

They ran like scared antlers away to hide

They turned and saw the basket was gone

So was the cry and only silence was on

The dark wood was magical they say

It never sleeps or stops some say

Under the starry sky stood a wolf 

Gnawing at the basket in which she lay

Time passed, rivers rose again, 

The hills filled with roar and a howl

The beast and the beauty

Staring into each other's eye 

Each was ready for the kill

He was fast, she was faster

And into the heart she plunged her spear

Smearing herself with the winner's medal

She cut of the head and carried it to him

He stood tall, grey and bigger than ever

He howled, she howled louder

They danced in circles of joy and pride

The wind carried a roar of terror

Scaring any living being to his death

He stood on his fours, she climbed on his back

Tugging his fur, she kissed his neck

With a mighty howl they jumped from rock to rock

Racing against the wind, with all their might

Some call them eternal lovers, others the devil's duo

 A beauty and beast be together 

And never harm each other

It was then their love was tested

A hunter's arrow brought him down

She vowed never to part him in life or death

She cut her heart to be with him once and  for all

Their bodies found and burnt in a pyre so fierce

They stood lifeless in what they saw

She rose from the ashes just like him

A snarl and a snap was all that they heard

Into a dust they whole village was charred

They lovers were united for all they were

The beauty had found her beast they say

And to this day they can hear them howl

They eternal lovers united in life and death
