Excerpts from Selene Upon the Mount

Excerpts from Selene Upon the Mount

Then taking up my father's blades
Seeking not a blessing
I set my face toward her moon
And sought the place that she did dwell
Selene, the beauty of the night
Selene, my fairest one

A' the air and mountain free I ran
By forest, glen and river
To see at last the fairest one
The lady on the mount of old
Selene, oh filly bright and fair
Selene my dearest love

Yet from my hooves she took to flight
Across the great wide valley
Her voice then raised in cheery taunt
Thou canst but chase and never hold
Selene, thy sole desire
Selene, thy heart's true love

Then so chase did I my fairest one
'Cross glowing golden meadow
And thrashing rivers, to the sea
Forsaking all to follow her
Selene, my path, my only way
Selene, my only way

There stood a mount, a towering peak
'pon which I found her waiting
She lead me there and called to me
My love, thy heart has conquered now
Selene, the goddess of this place
Selene, your only love
