The House of Dôn
04:21
|
|||
In shadows cast by greensward hills,
the Mother’s magick hums and thrills.
Her children, lords and ladies all,
are gods and lithe goddesses tall;
they rule the sea, command the air,
and one and all are wise and fair.
These children fine, the House of Dôn,
no blood compares the Earth upon.

Enbarr's Chariot
07:33
|
|||
Upon the waves and ’neath their swells,
to kingdoms far and wat’ry hells,
draws Enbarr at a wild career
the chariot of great mac Lir.
As swift as wind is mac Lir’s steed,
a mighty horse of Fairy’s speed.
Low in his chariot are drawn
the souls who perished near and yon.

Son of Caelia
04:34
|
|||
They call him King and give him laud,
but fouler feet ne’er Elphame trod
than those of Arthur, Knight of Men,
who planted seed of violence in
the fair Caelia’s virgin womb;
who, giving birth in willow room,
to bastard blade, a Fairy Knight,
fled ’neath the Mere to stay her plight.

Elphame's Wood
06:00
|
|||
Titania Queen of Fairies sleeps
in bower in the woodland deeps.
Her Elves around her dance all night
in order that the Sun be bright,
when morning dawns o’er Elphame’s Wood:
in order that the sable hood
of nighttime dart with diamond stars:
this is the Wyrd of Elfen art.

Maeve's Tomb
05:27
|
|||
The Fey Queen Maeve lies cold and dead
beneath a hill in ancient mead;
in golden sepulchre she lies,
and over her Furbaide sighs,
avenging sword cold in his hand.
He laid her here beneath the land;
she whom had slain his mother dead,
now cold and breathless ’neath the mead.

The Lady of Elfin-Mere
03:19
|
|||
A ripple on the water plays:
it dances to the ancient lays
of Elphame’s Wood; and lo, appears
the Lady of the Elfin-Mere.
And Brightkin, Knight of Fairy born,
who wandered far in love forlorn,
is captured by her beauty fair:
now lingers ever gladly there.
