“Deeper and deeper into the wood
His lantern cast shadows of fate
Until he at last reached the faraway tree
Where the owl, wise and old did orate”

“Together they sat by the light of the fire
And they talked as the long shadows danced
Young Jack told his story of trouble and woe
Begged please mend mama’s broken heart”

“Meanwhile the sea faeries to Rock-a-Nore cliffs
Would swiftly return and bring back
A casket of sleep made of shells from the deep
For the tormented spirit of Jack”
