A Land Far Away

“The Drow’s Lover”

Oh sweet lute,
I must waken thee from the gentleness of thy slumber.
With a full heart our last farewells were taken
and
now in tears I take you up again.

Whilst love did last and pleasure lingered in Brightwater
my love and I; mingled in joy and laughter
‘neath Lady Firehair’s eyes.

We didst savor those notes of leisure,
when our hearts were twinned and beating;
but this love of mine has since been lost forever
under the Spider Queen’s stinging.

My lute alas,
like the lark’s gay morning my own
she is gone as still
as the swan’s decline.
Oh how shall I who cling to a lover lost still invoke thy breath divine?

May Kelemvor with mercy drear allow one kiss from me
descent
to wing its way through death’s dread halls to my lover’s final rest?

Oh Sune above,
pray make him see
for I shall never love again,
the heart I love was dark with sin - I wouldst join her in the spider’s web.

Nice - I do not know who the poem/song is written about or for, but as for joining your love in the spider's web, we can certainly make that happen. Come, your love awaits...

Thank you, but I fear the poor bard who joined his love thus, made a meal of two fit for a queen! I sadly, have little enough sustenance on my poor bones to feed a half-starved rat. Tearfully my love I must decline....*doffs his hat in a saddened bow and winks*
