Let my inspiration flow
in token lines suggesting rhythm
that will not forsake me

While the firelight's aglow
strange shadows in the flames will grow
till things we've never seen
will seem familiar pic.twitter.com/QPi8O6mlbU

winds both foul and fair all swarm
down in Carlisle he loved a lady
many years ago pic.twitter.com/4bgOqTj8SM

Here beside him stands a man
a soldier by the looks of him
who came through many fights
but lost at love pic.twitter.com/sAUh5FvkEg

While the storyteller speaks
a door within the fire creaks
suddenly flies open
and a girl is standing there pic.twitter.com/DmKHenMEbe

all that fancy paints as fair
she takes her fan and throws it
in the lion's den pic.twitter.com/8lvie4IbFs

"Which of you to gain me tell
will risk uncertain pains of Hell?
I will not forgive you
if you will not take the chance"

and not disaster pic.twitter.com/cATw2hVN8z

The sailor coming out again
the lady fairly lept at him
that's how it stands today

soon you will not hear his voice

we pay the teller off in gold
in hopes he will come back
but he cannot be bought or sold pic.twitter.com/ywMPaD9TnZ

Inspiration, move me brightly
light the song with sense and color,

Statements just seem vain at last
some rise, some fall, some climb

Counting stars by candlelight
all are dim but one is bright
the spiral light of Venus

From the northwest corner
of a brand-new crescent moon
crickets and cicadas sing
a rare and different tune pic.twitter.com/PN2CGP0HY1
