Many a time I have pondered about the Fairy Queen. From early childhood, through the years until the present moment. Mysterious and marvelous is she … real to me and existing in my heart and soul. She can be found somewhere on this earthy plane, not to be seen by most. Still, a favored few can see her if only from afar.
I will be coming back to write of her from time to time. Below is a marvelous poem by Kipling. It just sings to my heart. I hope it does for you as well.
I have a thousand men," said he,
"To wait upon my will;
And towers nine upon the Tyne,
And three upon the Till."
"To wait upon my will;
And towers nine upon the Tyne,
And three upon the Till."
"And what care I for your men? " said she,
"Or towers from Tyne to Till?
Still you must go with me," said she,
"To wait upon my will.
"Or towers from Tyne to Till?
Still you must go with me," said she,
"To wait upon my will.
And you may lead a thousand men
Nor ever draw the rein,
But before you lead the Fairy Queen
'Twill burst your heart in twain."
Nor ever draw the rein,
But before you lead the Fairy Queen
'Twill burst your heart in twain."
He has slipped his foot from the stirrup-bar,
The bridle from his hand,
And he is bound by hand and foot
To the Queen of Fairy Land.
The bridle from his hand,
And he is bound by hand and foot
To the Queen of Fairy Land.
