With roses in hand came shining knight to ladies side
This gift his devotion lade before her forever true
To protect your heart and soul till eternity ends
This I swear now and forever see my hearts doors open wide
And the key to all I own even more to whom I am is given to you.
For days and days the weeks go on passing full of glee
And all through the manner set right the wares of lady come home
And bards play on through out the night that these two as one may be
And dance and play laughing deep and full for any to see
Here in this house even in darkness, bright are the hearts here not alone.
With passing days none come to claim, as was their fear
Lady Queen's hand free now placed forever in knights' hand
And in a house holy all of living fir, cedar, and pine swore for eternity
And as for-told now the path is right spoken by seer
This couple brave, courageous all the new days will stand.
For a time swore each would rest and the courts of kings away would shy
That no word of this Queen fled to the ear of darkness would run
And in peace her head may rest her ease won by will strong her knight
Thus the two dine in the shadow of the willow kings' boughs lye
And on pathways old and forgotten wonder deep in the woods in green hued sun.
From this tranquil stand thus day to night go the two walking proud
In silence the wind a companion speaks as hand in hand they pass unheard
Not warden of gate nor howl of beast marks their passing
For these two in the night are masters moving free unseen as in a shroud
Only the souls of lovers past in shadows themselves hear their words.
In bliss to dine with Ice Queen in her chambers the hour witching past
They speak of things to come and days brighter still
And laugh with out regret all the pains away here now starts a new life
Upon this all agree here now reborn this family proud will last
And none outside have power to take away what has been won free will.
And as ashes the old life burns to the heavens sore comes the fog
As chanted and called a breath comes to refresh the lungs whole
And no wind blows in the dark of night swore each this oath
This enchantment lay before ancestors and gods of old as upon burning Yule log
Each the other to protect and cherish never to leave given heart and soul.
From heart to heart and soul to soul two as one by two won
And swore to defend and keep for sake of love her flesh so white as milk running
That none may share or know the wonder of her touch save Knight
The passion her eyes in mystic light of darkness glows brighter than the sun
And held tight in more than mind finally they rejoice in this homecoming.
