Enchanted Child Bright queen of woodland denizens Of mythological reknown: Your palace is an ancient oak; A wreath, your crown. All sparkling eyes and impish smile, Unslippered feet and windblown hair, You brave the wilds of the unknown With spirits fair; With fairies dancing, hand in hand, You sing their chant in airy voice; The forest echoes your delight -- The trees rejoice; They whisper secrets in the breeze And, listening, you cup your ears While playful zephyrs tug your dress Then disappear ... The sunbeams dappling through the leaves Leave fairy-kisses on your face. Your presence makes this quiet glen A hallowed place; Enchanted child, I must believe These fancies are no less than true: For there, reflected in your eyes, I see them too. ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

Thank you all, and thanks especially to my own "enchanted child", Kahlan, who inspired me to this. Long live my little faerie queen! Nocht |
