On a mild October afternoon,
Irish melodies fill my head.
Penny whistles and violins
Sound like mournful birdsong,
While the hammered dulcimer and harp
Conjure sweet, melancholy memories
Of another October evening,
long ago,
As I watched a handsome Cavalier
and a Faerie Queen,
Exchange wedding vows in a moonlit glade,
In a cathedral of soaring pines
and starlight.
The knight in shining armor
had chosen someone else,
Yet, I truly wished them
endless happiness
As I wept for joy
and misery
in equal measure.
