| The
silver light at the edge of the hall
Reflects
the passing of day
Moonshine
glisters at the top of the fall
Trying
to show him the way
The
water ripples as if trying to call
But
not knowing quite what to say
The
mage laughs a carrion laugh
Seeing
the wanderers plight
A
man long dead, brought back to life
Through
a powerful shade of the night
Flying
above the black-watered stream
The
red dove appears not to know
How
close he has come to the source of the dream
Which
summoned him so long ago
In
his tower of stone, the mage sits on high
Watching
the hawk fly above
He
sees it come screaming from a crack in the sky
Tearing
the heart from the dove
In
a castle of cloud a maiden weeps
Feeling
the pain of her love
