Words to the Wise: Sharing Life, Lessons, and Observations
Words to the Wise is a collection of stories, observations and insight drawn from my own experience both in the past and in the present, together with my perspective on what I may have learned in the process. Occasional poetry and astrological insights will be included when appropriate. I welcome comments, suggestions and thoughts of all kinds and am happy to respond.
A Ballad for a Summer Day
All on a Summer's Day
The lady she came riding by
All on a summer's day
She stopped at a brook to take a drink
All along the way.
An elf popped out of a nearby bush
All on a summer's day
The lady said how do you do
All along the way.
I do very well I do, and you?
All on a summer's day.
Indeed, my friend, why I do too,
All along the way.
My lady would you come with me?
All on a summer's day.
And where would you be taking me?
All along the way.
Why of course to see the fairy queen
All on a summer's day.
The fairest ever that anyone's seen
All along the way.
Though she's the fairest ever seen
All on a summer's day
It's with regret I must decline,
All along the way.
For I must journey on you see
All on a summer's day
Without delay, I must be gone
All along the way.
She right well knew and knew right well
All on a summer's day
That his offer she should not accept
All along the way
His face grew fierce and his eyes grew red
All on a summer's day
If you won't come, I'll make you come
All along the way.
The elf began to mutter a spell
All on a summer's day
But the lady rode away in haste
All along the way.
She better knew and better she knew
All on a summer's day
To refuse a stranger who proffered gifts
All along the way.
