Thus The Last Dragon:
Thus
danced the last Dragon,
Weaving body and neck,
Eyes glinting in moonlight,
Her breathing in check.
Weaving body and neck,
Eyes glinting in moonlight,
Her breathing in check.
Then breathed
the last Dragon,
Both fire and dark smoke,
Bowing this way and that,
Around the Wise Oak.
Both fire and dark smoke,
Bowing this way and that,
Around the Wise Oak.
Thus sang
the last Dragon,
Songs old before Time,
The Myth of the Making,
The Tale of the Dying.
Songs old before Time,
The Myth of the Making,
The Tale of the Dying.
Farewell
bid the last Dragon,
To the last Unicorn, who saw
The Storm of the Coming,
Shatter all from Before.
To the last Unicorn, who saw
The Storm of the Coming,
Shatter all from Before.
Thus ate
the last Dragon
Of the poison of Man,
Her dance growing slower,
Her will closing down.
Of the poison of Man,
Her dance growing slower,
Her will closing down.
Thus drank
the last Dragon
Of man's execrable bile,
Her kind now departed
To make way for his guile.
Of man's execrable bile,
Her kind now departed
To make way for his guile.
Thus wept
the last Dragon,
By her True Love of old,
His body all stiffened,
Unresponding and cold.
By her True Love of old,
His body all stiffened,
Unresponding and cold.
Thus died
the last Dragon,
For crass humankind,
Who were well cursed by Satan
To a life of the blind.
For crass humankind,
Who were well cursed by Satan
To a life of the blind.
And blind
without magic,
They lived in the Dark,
Their savagery growing,
Their future stark.
They lived in the Dark,
Their savagery growing,
Their future stark.
And on as
they plundered,
Pillaged and wrecked,
Mother Earth and the Oak,
Together they wept.
Pillaged and wrecked,
Mother Earth and the Oak,
Together they wept.
