The Travler’s Tale 14 (The Traveler’s Mate) A finer lass, I canna recall To grace the Traveler’s eye… ‘er hair a tint of Scottish red, A buxon wench, and, aye! ‘er smile would melt a skinflint’s ‘eart ‘er voice would stir a flame- An’ fan a colder ‘eart than mine DeLana was ‘er name. Aye, Miss, an’ wou’ ye go wi’ me- To traipse a lonely road? To share the Traveler’s ‘idden fire- Wi’ im’ make yer abode. I’ll dress ye girl, in Spanish lace- An’ rich Cordovan leather Where sun doth set will mark the place We spend our time together. Aye, lass, I’ll treat ye passin’ well- An’ love ye till I die- I ne’r thought the girl was birthed To take the Traveler’s eye. This blade o’ mine will earn our keep Along the dusty trail… Until a better blade I meet… Thus goes the Traveler’s Tale. Visit My Home Page http://www.geocities.com/montcogunslinger/HomePage.html |
