Through a golden wood it sings Ruby heart with silver wings A lithe young lass a'sitting there Emerald eyes and onyx hair A harp she plucks With graceful hands To her left a stallion stands Right a stag with ivory rack A griffin eagle at her back Before her is a raging fire No lad can pass in his desire! No one can find her for the trees But all can hear her melodies.
Though they tripped Through glade & fen People long to hear again! For without the slightest sound The maiden put Her soft strings down And vanished
never to be found.
I am writing a book of poetry. It's being illustrated by myself & two other artists. I want to illustrate this one!
