Katherine's Song for Julian

Good and gentle knight,
I have loved you all my life,
From the time that I first saw you
In the days of your youth.
Young man so strong and bold,
Your heart so brave and true,
Gentle knight, I tell you now,
I have always loved you.

I know I cannot have you
As a lover of my own.
You are bound to make a journey
As our sovereign does demand.
Though we must be parted,
My devotion remains true.
Gentle knight, I tell you now,
I will always love you.

As you begin your travels,
Know that you are not alone.
You must take with you my favor
To remind you that I love.
I pray the spirits guide you
And keep your heart from rue.
Gentle knight, till your return,
I will wait here for you.

They say that I should marry
In the manner of my kin,
To form a strong alliance
With the neighbor to our land,
But I will not be wedded
For my heart knows only you.
Gentle knight, till your quest is done,
I will wait here for you.

Gentle knight, I tell you now,
I will always love you.

Back to the beginning of the path
Back to previous turn in the road
To the next bend in the road
