one morn did i awake,
and sense fires in the sky.
i dressed and ran outdoors,
and raised my face toward the heavens.
i called to me my dragon, opalwing
and climbed aboard her back.
we found it was not in the heavens,
but on earth the battle raged.
gryphons attacking a kingdom
had been heard by the fearless dragons,
protectors of mankind.
they flew to meet the call.
away from the kingdom had they drawn them
into an open field, and there the battle raged
each dragon with its rider upon its back
did i join
our dragons did fly valiantly and we did slay
these evil creatures
til all lay upon the ground, dealt deathly blows
by our swords
our dragons did land and each rider went to collect
the gem within each gryphons talons
the riders reward
our dragons did dispose of them with their fire
and we all sat together to eat.
the riders, bread and cheese, clear water
the dragons of their spoils
and when the sun arose again
did we at last depart
the riders on their dragons backs
to each be carried home.
