Asha


She was born in Forks in a famine year
And her mam with child once said
“This babe best be born a hunter fierce
Or the town’ll starve stone dead”

Well the wee lass Asha could barely walk
When she proved her mam spoke true
She could split a shaft at a hundred paces
Before the age of two

Well she grew up tall, and with shoulders broad
On the banks of the Bowstring blue
Stole all the boy’s hearts as she walked by
And she stole all the girls’ hearts too

Well, lord Cullan’s old ranger Dunstan died
At the claws of a vicious bear
To replace her, he’d heard a girl from Forks
Was the best shot anywhere

Now one day, Lord Cathal a tourney held
Twas the grandest the land had seen
All the warriors and lords from across Anuire
Filled the Gorge's vales of green

On the first day, a contest of bows they had
Competition was fierce and spry
Representing the Wilders in all their pride
There stood Asha with bow held high

Twas a valiant battle upon the field
Tween our lass and a Brechtur maid
But with eagle's eye and steady hand
Asha brought home the accolade

She's the pride of the archers of Wilder's Gorge
For her arrows, they all fly true
And she steals all the boys' hearts as she walks by
And she steals all the girls' hearts too
