Of Normandy Once again aroused from slepe By salty ayr and lyghte tha sepes To fyl the cournors of dusky roome Broughte a scente of lyf yn bloome From lowly ant to lofty tree The younge sonne shines so bryghtly Upon the strondes of Normandy I stepe cross oaken Threshold, through broken Spyderwebes of dew Early waked from dremes of thou Simply joy and purity Gazing out across the sea From the strondes of Normandy I've dreamt of thee for many A year, wondering whenne Erie's Swete rose schall fyll the spayce Within myne herte, once chaste Thy love I twill see An answer to prayer thou wilt be Whenne thou whilst come to Normandy Norman borne and Norman bred A dreme of bardic yn my hede The sea wynd blowes The nicht-sonne glowes Be me alone or wythe thee Whether ton lande or sea I'll lay my bones yn Normandy Alicat, still stuck partly in 1216 |

This is just simply lovely..and I may be nuts (what, who me? lol) but it has a melancholy feel to it. Maybe because it reminds me of a play my younger brother once was the lead in..same 'feel' to it. Enjoyed this much, I did. |

Thanks guys...when I wrote this, I was working in a goverment publication depository, and came across a fascimile of the original King James Bible. That helped out oodles, as well as going back to Chaucer for variant spellings. Alicat |

This took me back in time to history classes of long ago.. HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |
