Fair Ones

from Faire Ones by Rion Sanura

lyrics

To a shining golden lake-wood,
Have I journeyed for a time
And though zealous were its people,
So were its great halls sublime.

Through oak forest and green briar
Have I made my merry way
Winking back at shadowed sunlight,
Wishing I could ever stay.

In a fen of mist and flowers
Have I dallied for a day
Calling back to frogs and crickets,
Calling fishers out to play.

Near a hundred stony ruins
Have I seen in but a year,
Yet, for every bailey's downfall
Could I shed a rueful tear.

Among quiet marble cloisters
Have I passed a happy hour,
In serene and knowing labyrinths,
In a many-window'd tower.

To the grim and looming towers
Of a city grey as gloom
Have I been astounded witness,
As the streets of magic bloom.

Under thrall of roaring thunder,
Blinking hot rain from my eyes,
Have I seen the lightning turn
Each drop to diamond in the skies.

Far away, beneath the surface
Of the green and rambling ground
Have I marveled in deep darkness
At its vast and silent sound.


I have traveled many places,
Far away and near to home
And the ones that still surprise me are the rare ones.
Of the places that I've traveled,
Home will beckon most of all,
And yet it seems a shame to leave the fair ones.
