He came out of the woods on a winter night
At the time when the moon was born.
He went to the shore where the wind grew wild
And waves were breaking on stone.
It was so cold that not one of the beasts
Had the courage to leave its lair,
And only that one in the icing mist
Seemed to even care.
He lifted his head with the fine, slender horn
And thought quietly,
"What is in this lot of mine,
And why am I so alone?
The centuries passed as I had grown
In the depth of the enchanted woods,
And the sun sent down all the warmth it had,
Wherever I trod my foot.
The animals played
And the birds were glad
Hearing my easy pace,
Women and men,
Those who were pure in heart
Were coming to visit my place.
Then something happened and man became
Obsessed with other deeds.
They started playing a cruel game
And hunted defenseless beasts.
The magic to heal, to defend and to free,
Was given to me one day,
Making invisible living with me
For those who were coming for prey.
At last the people had understood
Where the essence of secret should be,
And started coming into my woods
Seeking to capture me.
They wished me to serve those who were in charge
Of all the people and land,
Well, I should like better to stay at large
Why could they not understand ?
They were very smart and tried their best
Chasing me day after day,
Finally I had no minute of rest
And here, I could no longer stay.
So, once at night when the hunters were gone
I stepped on the pilgrim’s road.
Alas, I could nowhere have settled for long
And looked for the other abode.
For men were men, they wished to posess
Whatever they felt they liked,
They seemed so clever, but yet couldn’t guess,
That freedom was not to be tied.
And neither beauty, nor love, nor grace
Were under their command,
That only slaves make the others slaves,
And like to have them in hand.
The time has changed, but the people still stay
Where once they had chosen to be,
And as long as it goes this dangerous way,
There will be no room here for me."
This way he thought standing on the shore
Then looked at the pattern of night,
He made a leap that no one saw,
And disappeared from sight.
The heaven accepted its lonely son,
And did become his home.
This is how it had been done
The story of the unicorn.
