Gravedigger Gravedigger
pick me a rose
Out near the boulders where the thistle bush grows

Nightwatcher Nightwatcher
lend me thy cape
And over my shivering shoulders do drape

Torchbearer Torchbearer
gift me thy flame
And burn away all of my sorrow and shame

Wind-dancer Wind-dancer
send me thy flute
So on it I might play melodies of truth

Field-gazer Field-gazer
lend me thy blade
That I might vanquish what lurks in the shade

Tree-chopper Tree-chopper
teach me thy strength
So I'll might outlast my foe at any length

Deerslayer Deerslayer
share in thy skill
that I might attain the prowess to kill

And Truth-keeper Truth-keeper
lend me thy mind
That from my actions some justice we'll find.
Came up with this awhile ago. It started off being something that I pictured Artemis might abide by, but then it turned out it was really my own vigilante's prayer, or every vigilante's prayer, or both.
