	Story Behind the Song This tune evolved over a period of about a year. It contains sprinklings of bits and pieces of Edward Thomas poetry. Surreal Medieval. I wanted to create visuals without abstractions. Based on the song form of Paul Simon’s, Richard Cory. Lyrics Deep within the wooded glen I chance so far to see A maiden fair ‘neath powdered mist beholding unto me She’s eyes as dark as moonless night and hair that silken lay Black upon her silver gown of handmade gabardine I take a gentle step toward her luring, distant eyes And slowly go in fear that I might cause this maiden fright Faintly stir the trees under the hush of evening skies The wind a wordless welcome brings this night to she and I A dream come true reveals to me in midst of icy glow While winter lace-like blankets fall as kisses on the snow With tight caress and coupled warmth two embers we shall be Burning bright into this white laid glen at Athenry I cast a spell on these young lovers Who’d bring to kingdoms back together Keep the world of old anew For in its darkness I shall rule While in the glen two fair hearts meet The sight shall be heavenly sweet So here’s a spell upon the scene that all will seem as just a dream While folds of thick white curtains fall upon the wooded glen My maiden fair obscures from view as dusk to nighttime gives Alas, she fades, but her dark eyes transfix upon my own I feel a vestige of our flight together and as one Though thought remains I take a step and turn upon the snow My back against the distant glen where dreams like trees had grown
