The March of the Faerie Host.

Оглавление

Table of Contents

In well-devised battle array,

Ahead of their fair chieftain

They march amidst blue spears,

White curly-headed bands.

They scatter the battalions of the foe,

They ravage every land I have attacked,

Splendidly they march to combat

An impetuous, distinguished, avenging host!

No wonder though their strength be great:

Sons of kings and queens are one and all.

On all their heads are

Beautiful golden-yellow manes:

With smooth, comely bodies,

With bright blue-starred eyes,

With pure crystal teeth,

With thin red lips:

Good they are at man-slaying.
