Poem
Day and Knight In a time forgotten long ago, in a land quite far away There lived a lass so beautiful, they called her Princess Day For her smile was so radiant, her countenance so bright It's said that any place she stepped, she brought with her the light And always found just by her side, was her knight so debonair Whose dashing deeds of derring-do, were known most everywhere The two were nigh inseparable, they were never seen apart It was whispered that they simply were, two pieces of one heart They ruled the land with truth and grace, and the people all were glad Together they were the greatest rulers, a kingdom ever had But true love has its enemies, or so the stories tell us Indeed, there was a sorceress, who had become quite jealous She saw what the Princess had, and wished it for her own So she cooked up an evil plan, to sit upon the throne With slimy snails and dragon tails, she made a vile potion Then set off to the royal castle, to set her plan in motion The sorceress met Princess Day, and offered her a drink And with one sip she felt quite tired, her eyes began to sink Not a soul could wake her up, though many of them tried And soon the entire kingdom wept, for it seemed the Princess died Her knight however kept his faith, and got down on one knee “Lord, take from her this sleeping curse, and give it unto me! I know my Princess Day she lives, I feel it in my heart I'd give anything to see her safe, even if we were apart” Her body stirred within her bed, the sun began to rise For Princess Day was back again, and opening her eyes! As she woke the knight was weary, and began to nod his head And took her place fast asleep, upon the royal bed The Princess returned to rule the land, the sorceress didn't win And any time she fell asleep, her knight would rise again That's why we call them night and day, both watching from above Ruling the land with gentle hand, and sacrificial love For what together they once shared, they now each have alone One must sleep for the other to rise, and sit upon the throne But the sunset is the sky's delight, and never to be missed For the very shortest span of time, both day and night exist In the sunrise and the moonlight, the stars and the sun's rays The two smile at each other, for the rest of all their days So do not fear the dark my babe, it is just the noble knight Standing guard until his love, can rise to bring the light.
