Wandering alone the woods by home
Once occurred a strange tale,
Noticed I a golden stag
Disappearing into a wonder veil,
Eager to befriend, I followed
Reached a perilous stunning dale.
Walloping nearby a winged horse
On him I leaped with all my might,
Northwards we soared, hundreds of miles
Dawn fell first, then deadly night,
Exhaustion forced us to descend
Refuge we took, in a castle white.
Wicked was the witch who guarded
Oh! Jealously trapped a maiden dear,
Noble features, flawless hair
Descendent, certain, of King Lear,
Earnest and swift was my decision
Rescue her I would, devoid of fear.
Warrior like I felt at once
On her I dug my ancestral knife,
Ninety years have passed by since
Danger I dared, not caring life,
Emerged I victorious in the end
Reward I earned, my beautiful wife.
