Dragon Eyes
Darkly glancing dragon eyes
Dancing pools of fiery light
Sparkling gems witched from the skies
Emerald, pearl, and ruby bright
Opal, sapphire, amethyst
Coyly blend their crystal beams
Diamond spheres by heaven kissed
Doorways to a thousand dreams
Wild -- undreampt since Ancient Time
When the dragon ruled the night
Words were Magick, Music, Rhyme
Bardic songs set hearts aflight
Man and Woman ruled as Kings
In that Golden Paradise
Soaring high on dragon wings
'Til the snow-white moon would rise
Gone -- Lost in Night's endless deeps
Yet its phantom-image lies
Where the waiting dragon sleeps
Deep within your dragon eyes.
