Is he sage, sorcerer, diviner or devil?

Seer and soothsayer to those in peril?

Future, past, present, prophet or charlatan?

Layer down of laws, lauded by emperors

 

Shrouded in mystery, cloak and dagger

Learned man or sometimes a woman

Interpretation of dreams and visions

Revered, respected, withdrawn from conflict

 

The Druid was steeped in mystery and all

The folklore, legends, tales of woe

Judge and jury, passer of sentence

Executioner as some would attest to

 

Prohibited from writing their ancient story

so open to accusations of evil, not glory 

Deliverer of the message, good or bad

The Druid, hallowed, sacred, behad
