Corelia's Song

[jaelie]

Hey, Fin, here are the lyrics to that song I made you listen to last night. With all the talking the boys did, I'm not sure you actually got to hear the words. ^_~



Corelia's Song
by Ceili's Muse

Oh, the bard of East Marches'
Fair sorceress daughter
Was enamoured unseemly
By the fool of her lord.
Though the duke was deemed handsome,
He was so vain and petty,
And a mind that was empty
As last summer's gourd.

Now the fool he was clever
And he sang for his lady
Like the nightengale's piping
In green summer halls.
But his station was lowly,
And his body was aging,
And their love was as hopeless
As if he were stone.

Now the lady has led them,
The fool and her husband,
To a cool secret garden
By midsummer's moon.
And she has danced them a dance there
Of shifting and changing,
And has left them dumbfounded
By sorcery's rule.

And she's left the fool crying
To the gods of his fathers.
She has led the duke, laughing,
To her high chamber door.
And she's kept him there softly
Through two days bright dawning.
And the servants all gossip
In wonder and awe.

Now the fool he died in madness
Saying he was ensorceled.
The duke only smiles
His sad secret smile.
Now the duke rules his people
With wit and good humor,
And he sings for his lady
A nightengale's song.

And she's borne him five children,
Two sons and three daughters
And they've grown tall and handsome,
And sorcerers all
And they dance in the garden,
And they sing in the moonlight
Like the nightengale's piping
In green summer halls.
