<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Murmuring, whispering, creaking and crackling<br>
Can you hear the voices of the wood in the wind?<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Can you see the light as it shines through the treetops?<br>
Follow the glow, it will show you the way<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
Through the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood<br>
Where eternity's echo can be understood<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Can you sense the depth of the gnarly root<br>
Reaching down to the heart of this world?<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Things seem so far and the struggles of life<br>
Dissolve and fade away with each step<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood<br>
Where eternity's echo can be understood<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Can you feel the breath of irrevocable ages?<br>
Your senses will slowly fade in the mist<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Far in the distance figures are straying<br>
Lonesome and endlessly lost on their way<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood<br>
Where eternity's echo can be understood<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
In the Whisperwood, the Whisperwood<br>
Where eternity's echo can be understood
</div>

*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, [[Enderal:Regions#Whisperwood|The Whisperwood]].
*There is also a book concerning the Whisperwood, [[Enderal:About_Whispertrees|About Whispertrees]].
