Thank you for the translation, Griska.

It's interesting that the Lord' castle is named after the falcon, a predator. The poem may be implying that he's a predator himself, as well as a practitioner of falconry.

Thanks for the tune, Ernest. By the way, what's a Zupfgeigenhansel?

geige = violin
hansel = little Johnny
