The Black Knight

The black knight rides fast
On a shining black stallion,
His black cape flashing, dark,
His cloak sprinkled with diamonds.

He looks into the maiden's face,
So fair. His diamonds are for her,
Her best friends. He fights the demons
Of her dreams - her valiant protector.

When all the world is tired, asleep,
The knight stays awake, his dark eyes
Alert, watching. He's with her, for her,
Loving her, holding her, till sunrise.

Morning is nigh, the night draws
To a close. Before the sun lights,
The moon maiden elopes, with her love,
The brave, black knight of the night
