Come to me in the quiet of the night.
Drop your veil
And show me your wild eyes,
Alive with the green
Of deep and ancient forests.

Lead me through the starscape
Across uncharted lands
To where,
Once forgotten,
The stories are laid bare.

Now woven with melody,
Captured as song,
Sung through dusty lips,
On quavering notes,
Hearty and sweet.
