Songs and Poems of Faerie!

Cascade -- Peter Murphy

We have no image
We're just called the Good Friends
We call the madmen back
As they fly to the anthills
We never know
We never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy like bluebirds
In twilight
We call to stillness
As we kiss the Water King's hand
We hear the one same name
As the darker the land gets
We never know
We never know
We're fueling for the light
Cascading like the rain
In twilight
Waiting for you
You look so close
We walk a thousand stairs
Reaching for your hand
Our love a distant voice
We have no image
We are light
We are not asking
No favors from the dead
We wash with moonlit hands
On the shores of our island
We never know
We never know
We sleep in satin nights
Throwing energy in silver curves
In twilight

A Scottish Folk Rhyme on Fairy Names

as collected by Robert Chambers

Gin ye ca' me imp or elf,

I rede ye look weel to yourself;

Gin ye ca' me fairy,

I'll work ye muckle tarrie;

Gin guid neibour ye ca' me,

Then guid neibour I will be;

But gin ye ca' me seelie wicht,

I'll be your freend baith day and nicht.

 

La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats

...is, alas, already done quite beautifully on the following Web page:   I would only be copying the same poem and putting in the same images...so why not just give the link?
