Stories of Yesteryear

Come, and lay here, on this soft grassy hill

hear stories I'll tell from yesteryear

the sun is setting... the air calm and fair

though a gentle breeze can caress your hair

listen, my dear, about the dragons you fear

allow your ears to be aware of the stories I bring

of Damsels in distress, of Knights and their King

lay your head down on the grass to listen

I'll brush the hair away from eyes that glisten

so they may stay open as each story unfolds

of ladies in love with their Knights so bold



once upon a time... there was a maiden on a hill

with light in her eyes... she lays without fear

wanting to hear stories about yesteryear
