A Historical tale or supernatural event you decide.......... |
The Silent Horseman It all happened one stormy evening amidst the wind and hail In a valley miles from anywhere, but somewhere in Wales Bleak and craggy Landscape nowhere to shelter or hide Came such a resplendent gentleman not out for a pleasant ride His clothes were of such finery though not of the modern age Breeches and waistcoat of a fine brocade He passed within feet of me but knew not that I was there His business I presume was urgent, by his long lost stare He rode off into the distance to, I know not where Perhaps I thought it was a dream I guess I just did not care He passes by this way every stormy night Could he be a renegade going off to fight? I hear he was a nobleman respected in high places Who fell in love with a maiden not approved of by their graces They would meet with gay abandon beyond the city gate He knew the risks involved she was classed an enemy of the state So I know now why the silent horseman always comes my way And why he looks so Pallow He's off to Cardiff Castle To try and save his love from the gallows |
