This Knight
Dream on, fair maiden, your bosom heaves
as you sleep and dream your dreams.
I’ve been watching and protecting you
for a lifetime now, it seems.
This knight, I am, I stand and guard
your entrance to your room.
Fear not, sweet maiden, for I will try
to one day be your groom.
Then I will not stand so idly by
and watch you while you sleep.
For I will share this bed with you
and offer my love, so deep.
I would stay within the tower,
I would suffer in pain for you.
I would then break the bonds that hold
just to show all my love, so true.
So, dream on, fair maiden, through the night,
dream of happiness, not of sorrow.
I will be right here from now own
and for every waking tomorrow.
