The Maid of the Mists
Some love only azure blue and bright gold
But there’s beauty in the softening mists
All other colours they sweetly enfold
We walked hushed while our skin they gently kissed
The world around you ne’er was plain
Some love only azure blue and bright gold
Every colour is in your face and train
Your loving heart I longed to hold
Opalescent was the sky when in morn cold
You rose as silent as the new dawn's light
Some love only azure blue and bright gold
You tore me from my mists to the world bright
You were my dream: I followed you
Until I saw your lover bold
Her riches broke me far from my mists true
Some love only azure blue and bright gold
