CHARMED ACROSTIC
Come
and share a song with me
Hasten
to the glassy stream,
Asters
glowing; earthbound gems;
Round
the stony banks they gleam-
Matchless
in the sun-
Stars
on Earth begun-
Ash
and oak may I invoke,
Nimble
day shall wash away,
Day
in night is my delight.
May
the music we shall share,
Only
sound for you and me,
Over
stone the water flows,
Never
shall it reach the sea,
Lightly
may it stay;
In
tune with conjured day;
Glamour
rise before your eyes
High
and deep until you sleep;
Today
the charm is made, the spell is played.
Arise
and speak a firm decree,
Where
you wake and when you dream,
Amber
tossed on oceans' hems,
King
of colour for Undine,
Emulations
shun-
Nor
count it if it's none.
If
the folk define the joke
None
but fay shall hold the sway
Green
is might, if charms invite.
Read
the shadows in the air
Even
as insanity
Veracity
the picture owes-
Ever-mirrored;
never free,
As
the night holds sway,
Leave
us while you may!
Iris
sighs when you despise-
Now
to weep, you mortal sheep,
Go
back! This path is laid with magic's aid!
