Poem depicting the meeting of elves and humans in a wood. The elf lord gives the girl the fruit of the luna tree which turns her into an elf and gives her immortal life.

THE LUNA TREE

On pine robed paths a glass shoe winksand Mena falls rapt as elves blind stars.The wood lord weeps; it wilts her swoonhis holy smoke brims from ivy clad fontsits musky haze trails to luna tree groves.the elven fruits rise and dye her mouththeir tangy juice sprays red halos of lightso Mena’s heart flows with royal elf bloodand soaks in grace to see death scythed.
