Merlin's Harp (2010)
Merlin's Harp
“Watching her father's sheep, she stood; A lad stole out from the mysterious wood.
A brown boy he, and small and quick, His every move a twinkling trick.
All summer did those children play, The herder-maiden and the Fey.
Then winter came. He slipped away, And left the maid his debt to pay In hovel dark she bore her child And named him for his father wild: Merlin the Hawk. Her folk were glad To raise a strong and clever lad— Until his talents showed. He told Dream-messages. He could unfol...d The future written in a palm.
He could sing ballad, charm or psalm.
Then said his folk, "There's danger here!
We've raised a witch, a spirit-seer !
Though doubtless he can bless the herds And read our fate in flights of birds, Strong curses he can also give.
