The Daughter of the Wind
I met the daughter of the wind
In lands where ice and snow begin
In crystal caves, there deep within
When even time's forgotten when
When time had long forgotten when
In crystal caves, a shadow's den
The daughter of the howling wind
Escape with me, this world of men
Escape this world of fallen men
Oh daughter of the piercing wind
From whence you came, return again
My lady of the fairy kin
My lady with the fairest skin
Once more return and dwell therein
Where light and darkness oft contend
In the ancient, hallowed glen
In the mystic, silent glen
Where rites of shade and light are penned
From whence the children-stars ascend
Rest, oh daughter of the wind
Sleep, my love, and dreaming, wend
Your path among the stars. Attend
The fairy feast with merry friend
As time forgets, and love amends
Dedicated to Aurora, Poppy, and anyone who has lost a child.
