Swan and dragon
Water and flame
Grace and fierceness
Fair yet untamed
Wings like the snow
Breath like the sun
Blessing and curse
Welded in one
Bird-like voice
And swan-like lyre
Lizard’s eyes
And darts of fire
Harp-string’s note
And bowstring’s twang
Softest feathers
Keenest fangs
Shape-shifting queen
Warrior’s child
Swans glide calmly
Dragons fly wild
Near lakeside born
In mountains taught
With mercy ruled
And vengeance fought
Rainbow’s virgin
Sapphire’s queen
Moan at sunset
Monster’s scream
Lead them, Lady
Upon the wall
Let them never
See thee fall
You are their beauty
And their ire
You are cool drink
And scorching fire
