The day grand had came and all assembled for the show
The knight and lady vassals in tow round the tourney ran frail
And In fear the spectators glared that dark lord would soon come
And this building of happiness that on the New Year's sprung slow
Would be brought low and end in an instance most dire and fail.
Thus hours from minutes from seconds grew till all were certain the end had come
And in time that hour fel` and grim came the grace of one more surf
Out of hope was sprung the need to speed the campaign
And 3 to 4 came the end with out doom reduced time equal to their new sum
Flew now out the land of darkness and wrights and phantoms turf.
So then cheered all that knew the flight had came and won the day
Unto safety came the lovers unmolested in their wake
With speed of cunning ran the household unfolding this new life
Danced the dame enfolded arms about the lions heart gay
And behind them now all memories of pain laid to rest all for loves sake.
Here now in the silence of the passing came great the host
Left in thought and warmth only one thought remains in each the others mind
No man or maid this day forward in our eyes laid shall shine
Rather glint of mist on darkened night their image shall be less more a ghost
Unto our single beating heart shall we know only for ourselves eyes un-blind.
And in that first night alone with the wind whispering songs in our ear
None the world ever the bliss of flesh so close laid near
Came from our mouths a gentle kiss soft and never-ending
Held close the flesh as to a mother to her babe comforts the dark away fear
And held warm the through the night and shed this night not one pained tear.
So then as sun rose came roses sent along the way
And broken was the fast of the night held warm maid and knight
That each the others thoughts were shared and known truly the depth of each heart
In that blink of time held breath all feared the grandeur of what they beheld heard say
And trembled not of fear, but wonder for the greatness of these two lovers light.
And in her face all Knight could see was the angle of mercy her grace
And swore that moment fealty to none save this woman who's name he breaths as life
Knowing that in his soul none other would have place or want
And sang his devotion to his Queen only pretty things about her would be like lace
And in his heart prayed one day this precious beauty would be his wife.
Reveled all that day in joy the bringing home this ancient love knight knew
So broke the first morning and all was wonder and bliss
Held tight as moved time round the dance each weathering the storm
Fearing none this day and gay the smiles of friends held close and true
All knowing here now came once a lifetime, perfect love, and this kiss.
