In sweet midsummer hue
My Lady's eyes cannot disguise
Her tender, gentle heart
She cannot feign, she feels my pain
Whenever we must part.
(Instrumental)
Now while I live I needs must give Her all my love and more That she may know I worship so This one that I adore. And while away, I long and pray The days may speed, and then, I heartward hie, I flee, I fly, To see her eyes again.
(Instrumental)
My Lady's eyes, each glance I prize, As gentle as a dove, And would that I could tell her why I dare not speak my love. Too high, as far as any star Her station is to mine, Too wide that space to e'er embrace, Beneath her I repine. (Instrumental)
SHADOW STALKER
It was just a week till Sovven, and the nights were turning
chill And the battle turned to stalemate, double-bluff, and feint
and drill When a shadow drifted northward, just a shadow, nothing
more. No one noticed that the shadows all grew darker than
before. No one noticed, while the shadows seemed to creep into the
heart, But from then the fight for freedom seemed a fool's quest
from the start. All the hopes that they had cherished seemed unreasoned and
naive Nothing worth the strength to pray for, or to strive for, or
believe.
And the shadows stole the sunlight from the brightest autumn
day, As they sang a song of bleakness that touched every heart
that heard As they whispered words of hopelessness, all courage fled
away, And they wove a smothering blanket over all that lived and
stirred.
Herald Vanyel came upon them, and he sensed a subtle
wrong, And there was some magic working; deeply hidden, yes, but
strong.
And it moved and worked in secret, like a poison in the vein Like a poison meant to weaken, this was magic meant to
drain. Herald Vanyel saw the Shadows, and they turned their wiles
on him
