Will-O’-Wisp
No Plagiarism!YD3nyBVnDtmVwPtys6qjposted on PＥNAＮＡ

I tread through the Forest deep

The creatures in it do not sleep

I tread through the Forest deep

The ancient ghosts they wail and weep

Suddenly I see you there

Your searching eyes and beauty rare

Suddenly I see you there

You’re softly floating in the air

——— Willow, Willow, Will-o’-wisp

In the nighttime air so crisp

Be the eerie luring glow

That guides me to the bog so slow

Willow, Willow, beautiful

For your eyes I’d risk it all

Bewitchedly I would go

To all you seek and all you know

———

I know I go to my doom

I’ve seen the milk-white blossoms bloom

I know I go to my doom

But for tonight I’ll be your groom

For your form is poetry

As you weave deftly through the trees

For your form is poetry

In all your solemn artistry

———

Willow, Willow, Will-o’-wisp

In the nighttime air so crisp

Be the eerie luring glow

That guides me to the bog so slow

Willow, Willow, beautiful

For your eyes I’d risk it all

Bewitchedly I would go

To all you seek and all you know

———

Am I foolish? Am I brave?

I do not know but this I crave

Am I foolish? Am I brave?

For your love, I’d go to my grave

Even if I cease to be

For tonight I am set free

Even if I cease to be

That’s worth ethereal beauty

———

Willow, Willow, Will-o’-wisp

In the nighttime air so crisp

Be the eerie luring glow

That guides me to the bog so slow

Willow, Willow, beautiful

For your eyes I’d risk it all

Bewitchedly I would go

To all you seek and all you know

———

As I fade I see your smile

And that makes all of this worthwhile

As I fade I see your smile

Will-o’-wisp I love all your guile

Your eyes shine in harsh bloodlust

And as I fade I still have trust

Your eyes shine in harsh bloodlust

Though what you do is what you must

———

Willow, Willow, Will-o’-wisp

In the nighttime air so crisp

Be the eerie luring glow

That guides me to the bog so slow

Willow, Willow, beautiful

For your eyes I’d risk it all

Bewitchedly I would go

To all you seek and all you know246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e2EWwFOaI
