Mistress of the cliffs With eyes like lighting And the rolling thunderous waves crashing down Just beneath her fingertips
She is Demelza The Goddess of solidarity and steadfastness
The epitome of emphasis And the truth behind every last belmaidens wish
Which is of course… To return to the fields of idleness Of former youth
To thresh the wheat and kick the chaff And to walk the surface of the earth With a joy forgetting the hardships And the toils of the fast
And so each day She trudges her way Though the dark and dull abyss Until she reaches her new task And sets herself to another height For she was born to be mistress of the cliffs
With eyes like ice and hair like flames Her servants know she cannot be tamed Or kept on any windy ridge
