Flame, if I may:Refrain from using song lyrics in your books if you don't wish to have legal trouble when or if it gets published. Song names or artist names are okay, but not copyrighted lyrics, according to the law.

Aren't thee afraid?

"Aren't thee afraid" is not proper Olde English, miss. "Aren't thou afraid" is the proper way to say said line. Or even better, "isn't thou afraid." Either would work.
Good poem!

Of that I am aware, Rachel. :)
