The Lady and the Unicorn
A lady fine, in a forest fair, came upon a unicorn.
Intent and ready was he, and with nobility standing by.
By the trees of seasons, he approached on timid feet.
The lady took hold of his horn with firm hand.
He stared at her as sun stares upon you.
Is she gentle as falling leaves?
Or do spikes mean battle?
Came a servant upon them
To witness the seduction,
With faithful pup watching him.
The breeze brings memories,
And the unicorn rears,
Shards of remembrance in his ears.
Taste of the berriesLicks of sin
Erect stands the unicorn
In the seasonal wind
A world within one
Fruit of trees send
Coy shall she be
As strings upon the lyre
Played with grace and love
Of planes growing higher.
Shy he shall be,
Yet his eyes on her do see.
The mirror shows him false places
It hides his false faces.
It it she that he loves
Or it the way she loves?
Noble lion, look away
From the lady's way.
The lady bids goodbye
Or maybe she greets hello.
She puts away her jewels
To the unicorn's infinite woe;
Yet she removes them anon
And resings her song
