In Nordlingen's deark heart, a tale
begins to unfold.
Northward cities, ruin's cruel
embrace,
Rothenburg, Dinkelsbuhl; now in
ashes cold!
(Mysterious blaze, death's
darkened trace!)
They stood, hands clasped, a
circle's dread design,
Whispered words that twisted
out of sight,
In shadows cast, the town's sharp
lore entwined.
As shadows danced and time
began to fade,
A hemlock stood tall, its roots
a secret lie,
Guarding ancient tales in its temptuous
shade.
Its presence felt, on fringes
of the mind,
Watchful, silent, like
impending doom,
A feline omen, fate's enigma
signed!
Suevite's heart, a meteoric
fire;
Druid echoes whispering
evermore,
In cobblestones and shadows,
they conspire (then?).
A riddle penned in embers and
in smoke,
Was it Suevite's ancient, fiery
curse,
Or human hands that made the
town provoke?
Where mystery and dread in
chaos blend,
The trio's incantations, dark
as night,
Unraveled tales that never
seemed to end.
A silent witness to the town's
despair,
Its roots encased in secrets,
buried, grand,
As smoke and fire filled the
midnight air.
A specter in the shadows, there
and gone,
A whisper of a presence, night
and day,
As Nordlingen's breath, its enigma
lingered on.
