A Fair Maiden's Cry

High up on a mountain top

where dragons fly about ,

lived a knight who tried to stop

the dragons in their route.

~~~~~

Oh, how the knight dared to fight.

His beloved was nowhere to be found.

With sword in one hand throughout the night

he fought the creatures until they fell to the ground.

~~~~~

With daylight coming and a feeling of renewal,

the knight searched high and low.

He tried so hard not to be cruel

to the monsters who blew fire down below

~~~~~

His fair maiden cried to thee...

"Save me from this hell.

Release me from this misery 

and remove me from this spell."

           ~~~~~                         

From a balcony he heard the cries

of his fair maiden, Anne.

He slayed the dragons that flew from the skies

as he won this battle plan.

~~~~~

Up the ladder he climbed to the damsel in distress.

And with a fervent and burning desire 

he held her while they caressed,

as their bodies slowly ignited a fire.
