Ballad (21)
Might mage cast spell to capture muse And hold her to his heart? Can dreams be real: How can he use Desire to form his art?
He has not power to alter fate Nor win against her will: For this muse, he would ages wait That she might his arms fill.
He studies past, to future gain: He seeks to present change. If his hopes could her smile obtain He might the stars arrange.
Mage sees in muse all that he tries To find, in all his books. She is dream in flesh: Her deep eyes Show wisdom with their looks.
She is his sun, his moon, his stars: This angel heaven fills. He sees her light: Only time mars His hope, with age's ills.
Yet, dreams have power to give mage life And heal even his heart: He knows hopes are with desires rife, But must his passions start.
