Ride On, Rhiannon
(By BryteUnicorn)
(Click here to listen - RealAudio)

There was a prince of Dyfed
Who sought what fate would send
And to his wondering eyes appeared
A lady come round the bend
Her golden beauty his heart endeared
He vowed that they should wed

(Chorus)
So ride on Rhiannon, maintain a sure pace
You move in your own time untouched by the chase
And the veils of Annwyn you'd part
All to find the joy of your heart, oh
Rhiannon Queen of the Fae, oh
Rhiannon Great Queen of the Fae

They feasted in her father's hall
A guest called for a boon
Pwyll's foolish head gave Rhiannon's hand
But she turned tables and soon
They swiftly journeyed to Pwyll's own lands
Bestowing gifts on all

(Chorus)

Abducted was the son she bore
Their watch her ladies failed
Her innocence fell upon deaf ears
Her character was assailed
To bear the false tale to all who'd hear
Was what she must endure

(Chorus)

Her son was found that Beltane Eve
By Teirnyon so kind
His wife and he raised him tall and strong
Until they did come to find
Here was the child who was lost so long
At last she was believed

(Chorus)

Her tale does find a happy end
It glads my heart to say
With son and husband she'd reunite
Rhiannon's pain swept away
With joy they feasted all through the night
With their new faithful friends

(Chorus x2)

Rhiannon Great Queen of the Fae!
