Songs and Riddles from Redwall

Compiled by Griever

 

        Fur and whisker, tooth and claw,

        All who enter by our door.

        Nuts and herbs, leaves and fruits,

        Berries, tubers, plants and roots.

        Silver fish whose live we take

        Only for a meal to make.

-Grace said over the Golden Jubilee of Abbot Mortimer

 

        Who says that I am dead,

        Knows naught at all.

        I - am that is,

        Two mice within Redwall.

        The Warrior sleeps

        'Twixt Hall and Cavern Hole.

        I - am that is,

        Take on my mighty role.

        Look for the sword

        In the moonlight streaming forth,

        At night, when day's first hour

        Reflects the North.

        From o'er the threshold

        Seek and you will see;

        I - am that is,

        My sword will wield for me.

-Writing found on the wall underneath the tapestry

 

        Matthias, I that am,

        Matthias, you that are.

- Methuselah unscrambling "I - am that is"
