Fairy Ring - Gary Stadler, Singh Kaur

Twas a longing came into my heart, i could not sense the name

It tore me from my sheltered hearth, and swift to nature came

The beauty of the soft green hills

The singing of the trees

They left my soul more empty still

I could not find a peace

I could not find a peace

I saw the shining Fairy Ring

Myself within it’s heart

And i found a lonely comfort

Though its magic touched me not…

Its magic touched me not

I wandered by a running stream, and touched its stones for strength

Then i settled 'neath a great oak tree, and drifted into sleep

It lifted me with gentle boughs, and took me far away

When i awoke, the darkest night had chased away the day

I lay within the Fairy Ring

Myself within its Heart

And i found a lonely comfort, yet

The magic touched me not …

The magic touched me not

My mind a whirl of clouded dreams, i knew not where i dwelt

Yet in that shining Fairy Ring, a calming warmth i felt

Oh thrice i called unto the Fey, and thrice anout was turned

I fell upon the living earth, and in that moment learned

For there that night i felt a touch and in that moment knew

The Fairy magic had revealed my hearts desire true …

For in that touch i felt such love, and in that moment knew

That i did touch a perfect love

My hearts desire true

My hearts desire true

I lay within the Fairh Ring

Myself within it’s heart

And i found a lonely comfort, yet

The love that i had sought

My words and wants are stilled within

My heart has filled so much

I oft return to the magic ring

To feel the fairy touch

Oh now when ere the moon is full

I bid my cares depart

And kneel within the shining ring

To touch the fairies heart

To touch the fairies heart

To touch the fairies heart

To touch the fairies heart
