View source for A Lady's Token (Song)

''Author: [[Jorryn Varna]]''
<br><br>
On a country road stood a maiden fair,
<br>
A shy smile on her lips, ribbons in her hair.
<br>
She faced a young man with twinkling eyes
<br>
Leaving for the archery contest to bring home the prize.
<br><br>
She passed him a ribbon and touched his arm,
<br>
"Here, wear my token, and stay safe from harm.
<br>
Return to me swiftly, as swift as you can."
<br>
And with that he bowed and kissed her hand.
<br><br>
A gallant young soldier faced his leige lady fair
<br>
Boldly bowing to her, showing not a care.
<br>
"I fear I must ride to the heart of the battle,
<br>
Would my lady offer a ribbon to grace my saddle?"
<br><br>
She passed him a ribbon and touched his arm,
<br>
"Here, wear my token, and stay safe from harm.
<br>
Return to me swiftly, as swift as you can."
<br>
And with that he bowed and kissed her hand.
<br><br>
The Queen stood regally with a fall of ribbons at her wrist,
<br>
Her King embraced her and with dear love they kissed.
<br>
"Duty calls and I must be gone from here,
<br>
I'll return before you know it, fear not my dear."
<br><br>
She passed him a ribbon and touched his arm,
<br>
"Here, wear my token, and stay safe from harm.
<br>
Return to me swiftly, as swift as you can."
<br>
And with that he bowed and kissed her hand.
<br><br>
The Aes Sedai heard the distant sounds of fighting,
<br>
She saw the flashes of Dreadlord lightning.
<br>
She called to her Gaidin and drew on the source,
<br>
He ran to her side, exuding strength and force.
<br><br>
She passed him a ribbon and touched his arm,
<br>
"Here, wear my token, and stay safe from harm.
<br>
Return to me swiftly, as swift as you can."
<br>
And with that he bowed and kissed her hand.<br><br>
