A female invitation in a bye-gone age.
Fill Thou Me.
Fill my dull frame with stronger light.
Take thou
from me this darkest shroud
And re-ignite our flame.
Such blighted spirit can but disallow
our happiness,
thus this day I pray thee,
do thou
plainly comfort me.
I needest thou,
and with gentle lifting of heart's pain,
mine own
dark mood will surely quick relent,
then perchance
shall we lie peacefully again.
Come then, fill thou me
with gallantry and heaven-sent
romantic words,
without delay I prithee Sire,
court me now
in thine own enthralling way.

"Such blighted spirit can but disallow our happiness" describes a soul aware of something more and something missing. Strong writing here.

You are one talented lady Fay! I had forgotten the word 'prithee' until I read it here. It is so romantic with language of yesteryear and I sets a magical mood. Beautiful poetry.

I am not in possession of sufficient expertise in "auld" English but this speaks wonderfully to me. Fay tackles the dreamtime perhaps?

It is wonderful Fay that you so effortlessly compose such an awesome piece in old English... I can almost imagine the lady penning this carefully worded poem to the man of her choice...
