Crystal Maiden

Child of the Crystal night

Sweet child of the crystal night

In the shining of the light

The moon is rising rising bright

In silent drifting dreaming white

Snowflake crystals slowly fall

As cold moonbeams illumine all

And tiny ears still hear the call

Of something far beyond recall

For lost in quiet serene still morn

We are the lords of the morning dawn

And none can challenge such as we

When from dark power we break free

Yet motionless in frozen space

The sparkling strands of silver lace

All lattice worked in golden grace

Soon disappear and leave no trace

And we who wait upon our time

That knows no reason nor of rhyme

Must needs the crystal mountain climb

That reigns in majesty sublime

For yet as now our dream lives on

From ancient time all now forgone

We hear the call of gods beyond

All earthly care or black despond ...
