We frolic and laugh, for the dragon sleeps.
We glory in the pleasure of this short summer,
the cool of the brook and the still warming sun,
for the dragon does still sleep.
We will not give good attention to the dark,
though it sits not so far away. We play at peace,
for the dragon does still sleep.
We shall not quieten, for he more than slumbers,
his sleep is the sleep of the near dead,
though he may yet rise and torment us once more.
We will not wait on that future fear.
We will rather frolic in the warmth of sun and laughter,
for the Tamar dragon does still sleep.
And we know a Champion
who is a slayer of all our dragons.
