{{poem | author = player of [[Schloss Dunkelsohn]] | title = Lay of Falel Fogelnacht, The}} |
|||
I met an elf named Fogelnacht who stalked the woods |
|||
Alone at night |
|||
With silver hair, a mithril sword, and hooded cloak – |
|||
A ranger knight. |
|||
He would keep so still, keep so still, |
|||
But then suddenly he flew. |
|||
I saw him in the trees beyond the castle wall |
|||
Outside of town. |
|||
He looked upon me with his owlish eyes of age |
|||
And swooped right down. |
|||
He took my hand, took my hand, |
|||
Lead me off the forest path. |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
Fly! |
|||
He said his name was Fogelnacht the woodland elf, |
|||
Or just Falel. |
|||
He grabbed his bow, let fly a bolt, and slayed a beast; |
|||
He shot so well. |
|||
He soon lit a fire, lit a fire, |
|||
Cooked and told me his dark tale. |
|||
"A jealous prince once set all of these woods ablaze |
|||
To capture me. |
|||
The smoke brought tears for years whereas my horse and I |
|||
Had tried to flee. |
|||
My horse coughed and died, coughed and died; |
|||
I escaped to hide in caves." |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
Fly! |
|||
"The prince had tried to woo a rich and lovely lass, |
|||
But she loved me. |
|||
So in a rage, he stabbed the king with arrow shafts |
|||
He stole from me. |
|||
The prince had me framed, had me framed, |
|||
Now he sits upon the throne." |
|||
"Although the queen has turned her love away from me, |
|||
Her fate is sealed. |
|||
Now as the forest has recovered from the blaze, |
|||
My heart has healed. |
|||
I must fly away, fly away." |
|||
Then as the fire died, I ate and sighed and said: |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
O Falel Fogelnacht, |
|||
Fly! |
