NAY, Sweet lady, for here I shall stay!
Cleansed and refreshed from the battle this day,
the armor stripped, the man laid bare,
the slayer gone, the Knight stands there!

The Ball awaits us! Such music, and dance,
as lovers all smiles wait their turn and their chance,
and the doors swing wide
as they're throw asunder
with fanfare of horns that shout down the thunder,

As the Knight and the Lady
descend the grand stairs,
lavendar scent to drive away cares,
lute and viol floating 'round the great hall,
gather us hither, at the Homecoming Ball!

Your Lady curtsies
to the honor of the Knight
whose promise of permanence
is held in esteem

The offer of romance
and a dance set well
with your Lady of the Stars
celestial stance
twilight's song and dawn's farewell.

A slipper held in thy hand
does it fit the little Dame?
Is her delicate foot just grand
or would another take her stand
and demand a retrial
a night of splendor with
starry, Milky Way eyes
Rain-bowed skies and tales
of Knights in foreign lands
landed estates, fields of grain
and a happy ever after...

Thy promise to be there
in coldest winters
grayest hair and
furrowed brow
to stand the test of time
in fields of lavender we walk
and dance in ball rooms
Crystal lights and candle dances

Ah, Sir Knight, thy Lady will take her chances.
