Song: Gentle Knights
From Oberon, the Fairy Prince
Mythology & Folklore
Gentle knights,
Know some measure of your nights.
Tell the high graced Oberon,
It is time that we were gone.
Here be forms so bright and airy,
And their motions so they vary,
As they will enchant the Fairy,
If you longer here should tarry.
