Simple heart of simple mind Come close now, a story to share Of love, war, tears and time The bravest prince and princess fair
How howled the wind that night When all the world distraught Chased the families ‘way in fright Lest by fire beast be caught
Gray of scale and blue of eye Red of mouth and breath With wings unfurled fell from the sky Brought the country’s king to death
How mourned the people of their loss Yet brought them to even more distress How great was the dragon’s departing cost For the beast stole away their princess
Arianna fair was she like a blooming rose With a voice as sweet as morning song With hair long and dark in silky flow Then there so quickly she was gone
Who to save young Arianna flower Where is the hero of their time To rescue them from such a dark hour To right such a wicked crime
Behold there shining like the sun bright Fire catching the glint of his gaze Not a knight dressed in armor reflecting light An old and rusted sword doth he raise
His clothes are faded brown with use His hair is filled with dust from a journey of many miles He has no shield nor on his feet even shoes Yet to him is a warrior’s appearance that radiates in his smiles
He is the young farmer Runar of a distant land He has come to save the kingdom’s heir A hero against fierce dragon to stand To fight, conquer, and return Arianna fair
. . . To be Continued . . .
