The mist is rising in the
night The Dragon's breath covers
the land My chosen one sleeps safe
in my arms The smell of him surrounds
me His breath is warm on my
cheek
At the light of day he rides To battle the foe of the
land But tonight he is safe
next to me The sound of his heartbeat
fills me His body is warm beside
me
I have seen the other women
lament When the men they love
are brought home cold Their keen rends the night No longer to feel the touch No longer to feel the breath
My heart fails in me As I look at him sleeping To know that in the dawn
of the day He will mount the stirrup He will ride away
Into the mouth of the Dragon He will ride this day In his glove will be my
ribbon In his heart will be my
love In his hand a sword
In the light of the moon By the standing stones Soul to soul we wed Today he faces death My blessings go with him.
