The Angel and the Knight

Once upon a time there lived a lord,
In his early childhood he was taught
To fight for the right and hold his sword.
“I will be famous”- he always thought…

At last our Henry (that’s his name)
Was sent to war by the King!
At last he could fight for his fame!
Or for, whatever, everything!

But the foe was too sly, not strong…
Henry was the bravest of men…
But suddenly it all went wrong!
And now he was about to meet his end!!!

Betrayed, deceived and left to die
Under the tree, he was alone,
Too weak to move, too brave to cry!
He thought about his family, home…

And then he saw a flash of light!
And then the glowing of a candle!
Forgot his pain in moment of delight,
When he saw her, and she was Angel!

He saw the whitest, pearly wing…
He saw the kindest smile…
He saw someone he’d never seen!
…And felt the fire of desire!!!

He found the strength and he stood up.
She made a nod and turned away.
And in despair he screamed: “Oh, stop!
I love you, listen, oh, please stay!”

He moved to look her in the eye
And saw two diamond tears.
He kissed her mouth: ”My Dear, don’t cry!”
And she returned the kiss…

The Angel said: “I’ll stay with you
But only for one night…”
So let it be: “I’ll stay with you”
The Angel and the Knight…

When in the morning he woke up,
She had already disappeared,
But he could hear the sound of harp,
With happiness fulfilled…

“Only her warm breath
Can melt the heart he has,
Only her kind eyes
Can calm his lonely cries”

The years had passed and passed again…
“Hey, listen, he’s telling it tonight-
Our Henry, our poor old man,-
His tale of Angel and the Knight!”
