Merlin's Time

WV2316/2025

Watercolours van Gogh & ecoline ink on Steinbach paper.

 

"And I think of you now

As a dream that I had long ago

In a kingdom lost in time

 

In a forest of evening

The archer is bending a bow

And I see you bring him bread and wine

 

Down the legions of years

The invaders have taken this land

And bent you to their will

 

And the memories fade of the ancients

And all that they had

Though the magic lingers round you still

 

Oh, who would walk the stony roads

of Merlin's time?

And keep the watch along the borderline

 

And who would hear the legends passed

in song and rhyme?

Upon the shepherd pipes of Merlin's time...."

 

MERLIN'S TIME - Al Stewart, 1980.
