Arduinna

Through the Ardennes She rides upon boar-back,
The huntress side-saddle, bearing a knife;
Sworn to never be any one man's wife,
She takes Her boar through the heights to ransack.
Arduinna never lets Her aim slack
As She fearlessly takes Her prey's red life;
May She save us all from hunger and strife,
May the forest under Her never lack.
One day came men Her statue to tear down,
In hopes that Her worship come to an end,
But Her people rose up, Her to defend;
Though with hammers men destroyed Her high crown,
Never could they bring an end to Her feast,
Never could they stop Her hunting the beast.
