' To Knight ... Tonight ' Medieval # 3

‘ Ode,  To  Knight  …  Tonight ’  

(Loosely) Medieval Lines # 3

To Knight … Tonight
Wherever You Are
Ride by Moonlight
and Bring Me A Star …

… A Star for Each Tear
Drop, Shimmering Bright
Thru The Darkness, Appear
Please … Tonight …

To Knight … Tonight
Oh, Where Are You?
In Peril and Plight
or Perhaps Prayer Too?

 “ … He’s Racing Beneath, The Same Hallowed Sky
With Truth On His Tongue and A Torch in His Eyes
With A Swift, Sure Sword and Strong-Shield as Allies
… Sounding Forth, Joyous, Victorious, yet Humble-Battle-Cries … “

To Knight … Tonight
Bring Me A Coat of Arms
Tis’ Your Man’s Might and Right
To Keep Me Warm

To Knight … Tonight
Bring Me A Noble Crest
For with Your Loyal Height
… You Rise A Prince … The Best

And My Hope Beams Farther
My Heart Beats Faster
As Abraham, was to Sarah …
Be Mi’ Lord and Master …

… and I wilt’ Polish Thy Armor
Til’ It Gleams, like Gold
I wilt’ Welcome Thee Warrior …
… like Ice doth’ Cold
Yea’ … like Ice, doth’ Cold
… like Bravery, doth’ Bold
… like Clay, needs A Mold
… like the Blind, Welcomes … Behold’

To Knight … Tonight
If Thee Be Late
 Others are not Quite …
… On Thee, I Wait

To Knight … Tonight
 Who Is To Be You ?
I Beseech Thee, Have Insight …
To Love and Prove True

… So Tonight … To Knight
Wherever You Are …
Ride By Moonlight
… and Bring Me A Star

A Star for Each Tear
Drop, Shimmering Bright
Thru, This Darkness, Appear !
… Please … To Knight …
