All in her vision watched the fairy bright
the travails of Sir Trefor on the isle;
of how he came to quest in godly style,
and yet became her chosen Fairy Knight.
Because he chose for God alone at first,
he freed her from the bonds of Robert's hag -
but since she had a choice, then came the lag
in which young Trefor's heart felt fit to burst.
When, in the end, he chose to love her true,
and ever with her rest, where'er she went,
at last to deepest sleep was Trefor sent,
and thus he won both quest and fairy too.
Aurorielle was overwhelmed with tears
that just to be with her he'd sleep his years.

The King of the Angels:
"Thus have I shown
what lives in Trefor's heart;
his love forever true -
and so his sleep doth start.
Think you this knight
will love you right
whatever you may do?
How else could you have known?"

Aurorielle:
"You cause me awe;
to see such perfect love
in any mortal man
as angels feel above.
I thus agree
that ever he
will stay as he began;
he loves me to the core."

The King of the Angels:
"Then if you will,
you may awake and fly;
your angel's service end,
as woman, live and die!
Far greater this
your female bliss
than any that me tend,
and greater far the thrill."

Aurorielle:
"But Lord, when I
awake and take up life,
Sir Trefor is asleep;
how can I be his wife?
And so what hope
that we elope?
Again I sigh and weep,
and might until I die."

The King of the Angels:
"But think now, dear -
your life has all been spent
before my very throne.
How can you be content?
Till female form
and flesh all warm
you learn to love alone,
you cannot know him near.

And thus must he
begin to understand
the life that you have led,
within my fairy band;
how else would you
be ever true?
Until new paths you tread,
your love is yet to be."

Aurorielle:
"All this you knew,
the joy that's yet to be;
Your word will be fulfilled,
so you would set me free -
to learn my trade
as earthly maid
and then, what we have willed
at last, at last be true!"

The King of the Angels:
"Yes, you have seen -
I'll now increase your joy.
But earthly women age;
and Trefor's just a boy.
And so for long
within my throng
remain upon the stage,
to learn what choice doth mean."

Aurorielle:
"So I shall fly,
and serve you as a Fay,
until I've learned to choose,
to serve the mortal way!
But Trefor sleeps;
what if he weeps
to wait in dreams for news
his fairy draweth nigh?"

The King of the Angels:
"You know me well
enough to know that I
take thought for all who serve
on earth or in the sky.
In dreams he'll fight
with growing might,
until his dash and verve
o'er others all excel.

For loves he true
so much on single sight
of smile and pretty wings
in which he'll long delight,
he'd rather die
than make you sigh;
to you he ever clings,
no other would he woo.

And so with me
he'll spend the sleeping years,
and learn the life of Fay;
in dreams shall conquer fears.
He'll be a knight
whose godly might
beyond the light of day
will make the demons flee.

Meanwhile, in dreams,
he'll meet with you in sleep.
From daytime flight you'll rest,
I'll grant you slumbers deep -
and through the night
you'll take delight
in him who loves you best
'neath spangled starlight beams.

And then, at last,
my plan will be complete;
your love will bring you joy,
when on the earth you meet.
But at this time,
for Robert's crime
your wings you must employ,
until you purge the past."

Aurorielle:
"I now applaud,
in every single part
your wise and loving plan;
my choice is Trefor's heart!
So teach me how
to live my vow,
and then to join the clan
below, who serve the Lord."


No more the ugly dreams retain
the fay released from magic chain
who lost her wings a love to gain;
Aurorielle, the mighty Fay
sees the silent knight who lies
dreaming under morning skies;
tears stand glistening in her eyes.
Hark the chase! The fairy flies,
and carries Trefor far away.
