[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 1919154, member: 87"] [size=4]The Wild Blue Sea[/size] Written by the elven bard Tralin Nisarli for the entertainment of Emperor Halsidan of Estaria. [indent][i]Ellin Ellane was a fair maid Who sailed upon the seas Her journeys took her to many ports But never home to me I fear I'll never see the day That she'll return to me For I her husband threw her to The arms of the wild blue sea I searched a time in Rivenport For the Land Beneath the Sea The Kingdoms once called Balcridan Their songs did call to me And Ellin Ellane said "Folly, True folly there to seek," So I her husband threw to The arms of the wild blue sea I stand upon the sandy shoals And ponder on what should be And wonder if I shall ever find The kingdom beneath the sea For once I had companionship In pursuing this distant dream For aye, I threw my love into The arms of the wild blue sea. And think you not this sailor weeps For the maid took by the sea? Aye in my heart I always weep For the vision held in my e'e And think you that I was a fool Myself I should agree, For I her husband threw her to The arms of the wild blue sea. For ages it seemed I roamed the lakes Which surround our kingdom's three But never pardon my heart could make To return Ellane to me For it seems that any port of call Through my searches that I reach -- There find she left at last nightfall To a place beyond my reach. As so I regret, Oh so I regret -- The decision for which I now bleed In heart, for I threw her to The arms of the wild blue sea. I wonder, ponder, through these lands As a soul who forever dreams I wonder, ponder, how could these hands Throw her to the wild blue sea. It was fate I argue to myself That I'd lose to the wild blue sea. A contest I should have ne'er began Against the wild blue sea. For she is alive, she taunts me still In the sanctum of my dreams And there she dictates my only will To return her from the sea. But she is spurned, and though I yearn She shall not return to me For I her husband threw her to The arms of the wild blue sea. Now I am old, and soon will die, Her face ne'er again to see. But it is the fate I do deserve For her banishment to the sea. Though my countrymen call me hero For my war on piracy I shall never forget the look in her eyes When I banished her to the sea They paint me villian even now Though hero most think me to be And though a country mourns my plight For acts which did endear me I shall always be villian in the light Of her eyes as she fell in the sea. Yes, she is drowned, I killed her there In the middle of the Talcasin Sea When she my rage had rendered forth By accusing me of fallacy But fallacy would be my fate Upon the wild blue sea I threw her with all of my hate To the storm and the wild blue sea And forever afterward I've been prisoner To the call of the wild blue sea Nowhere I could go beyond her call And that of the wild blue sea. And ever onward to madness I fall As a storm on the wild blue sea 'Tis fitting perhaps that I lose my life To the arms of the wild blue sea For forty years I searched in vain Her return from the wild blue sea. Here to find on stone her name In sight of the wild blue sea It says she died upon a day While upon the wild blue sea When I, her husband, threw her to The arms of the wild blue sea.
