White Knight
Christopher Gordon Williams 1953 (Hobart)
Glilym! She cried, let it not be tragic,
Do all you can, as a last resort use magick.
Let all impediments to our love be banished,
Mediocrity & inertia forever vanquished.
Pain of loneliness no longer to be endured
Love & enlightenment for the future ensured
Take me away from all this at a gallop,
Sweep me up in your arms envelop.
Riding along on your white horse
Let true love’s path take its course.
