Enderal:The Song of the Whisperwood
The Song of the Whisperwood is one of the Bard Songs in Enderal. It describes the Whisperwood, also known as the Crystal Forest.
Lyrics
Murmuring, whispering, creaking and crackling—
Can you hear the voices of the wood in the wind?
Can you see the light as it shines through the treetops?
Follow the glow, it will show you the way
Through the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood,
Where eternity's echo can be understood.
Can you sense the depth of the gnarly root
Reaching down to the heart of this world?
Things seem so far and the struggles of life
Dissolve and fade away with each step
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood,
Where eternity's echo can be understood.
Can you feel the breath of irrevocable ages?
Your senses will slowly fade in the mist.
Far in the distance, figures are straying,
Lonesome and endlessly lost on their way
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood,
Where eternity's echo can be understood.
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood,
Where eternity's echo can be understood.

Notes
- The metrical feet employed in the song is typical of English poetry. The song beautifully takes advantage of 3-syllable (anapest, dactyl) feet, with occasional iamb.
- The song is about one region in Enderal, The Whisperwood.
- There is also a book concerning the Whisperwood, About Whispertrees.
