Naught But a Thousand Fold



Through the fantasy's counting
I've become ancient aged
'pon the millions or more now I've told
while my lover's last calling
labours long in the night
if naught but a thousand fold

If naught but a thousand fold
If naught but a thousand fold
Nary numbers nor honors
will follow me home
through the gardens in bitter and cold

While the lasses and lords
languish fully awake
when following folly and gold
to the tales I am drawn
with my wrap pulled about
if naught but a thousand fold

If naught but a thousand fold, love,
If naught but a thousand fold
In my tales, I may fancy
I lie never alone
held, embraced, by both tender and bold

And the songs that I sing
and the tales that I tell
bring me
naught but a thousand fold


Dear LadyClaire

Claire~
Just too pretty.
You're singing such a lovely tune.
I simply love this.

When a person writes from within, their words, no matter the style, are a fingerprint of their soul.  'Tis a beautiful song that you pen, with your heart's unmistakable imprint.

Claire,
       I can see my minstrel dancing to this tune before the assembled court. . .

Beautiful poem my friend. . .
