He comes in winter’s waning light With moonlight in the air He roams his kingdom in the night He seeks a lady fair The Forest Lord is man and stag, Great horns upon his crown He brings great wisdom to the lass Wearing berry-red silk gown. He comes to her in pale moonlight And finds her in the pines He circles round, the flame ignites And love’s red fire he winds Some say he’s from the forest dark Some say from hidden caves And some say from the highest mount, Or from the river waves. He comes in autumn’s waning light With moonlight in the air He roams his kingdom in the night He seeks his lady fair And I will seek his wisdom now I long to hold him near And hope one solstice night he’ll come In winter cold and clear ©2011 Living Brush, All Rights Reserved
