The Mermaid Lover
The moonlight strikes her long brown hair
She calls to him, "Tis my love there"?
On shore she sits upon a rock
And waits for him to sail the loch
He travels so far for her sweet touch ~
His mermaid yearns for him so much
Crooning for him her ballad of love
And guides his way like stars above
"I'd drown for you, my love, he said,
to spend eternity in your sea bed,
For death is sweet forever with thee ~
Our love transcends the land and sea"
She knows come morn as day draws near
Her star-crosseed lover must disappear
Leaving her behind hence another year
To pine for his love, so true and so dear
~ Lady Caer Morganna
