Array ( [sid] => 103606 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The merciful lady [time] => 2005-08-16 00:17:33 [hometext] => This poem is of a ballad form, a tribute to my lady`s love [bodytext] => What shall ail thee knight-at-arms?
Has company and joyfully loitering
The clouds have gathered on the skies
And all birds sing

I see a rose on thy brow
With no anguish moist and fever gone
And on the cheeks another blossoming rose
Fast growing too

I met a lady at bridal match
Full beautiful – a faery`s child
With long hairs and the foot so light
And her eyes were very mild

Wish to make a garland for her head
Bracelets for hands too, in fragrant zone
She looked at me as she did love
And there came a sweet moan

She found me roots of relish sweet,
Sweet honey and cream with dew
Her lips pondering came the reply
“I love thee true.”

She took me to her elfin grot
With gentle smile sighed with no sore
I shut her mild mild eyes
With kisses four

There she lulled me asleep
On her laps and to my pride
When I awoke I found me here
On the cool hills side

And this is why I sojourn here
With company and joyfully loitering
The clouds gathered on the skies
And all birds sing.
