Fleetingly she is glimpsed
Dancing through the trees
A spirit of the forest
Rare sight indeed
As beautiful as nature
Mischevious smile on her lips
Eyes twinkling with delight
As she frolics in her domain
Silken hair tumbles
Is stirred by the wind
Wild untamed beauty
No mortal can win
Hide and seek she plays
Peeking from behind a tree
Daring one to gaze upon her
And lose his way
To desire her is forbidden
Yet desire her mortals do
Restlessness fills their spirits
Immortal beauty haunts their days
The hamadryad dances still
Snaring mortals with her charm
Her beauty shall never fade
Spirit of the forest
Eternal
Beautiful
Innocent
