StoryQuest
by Diane Graebner
Long ago, in days of yore,
'ere all of you were born
A knight set out on fiery steed
through misty light of 'morn
This knight, the kingdom's best was he
'twas noble, brave and true
His quest: to bring back varied tales
and legends, old and new.
Of dragon's fire
Of love's desire
Upon a story quest went he
In foreign lands
On burning sands
Across a never-ending sea
Tales of kings and vagabonds
Beyond the moon and sun
A story quest,
A story quest,
A crusade had begun.
On every quest, he jousts with words
to fill an empty page
With valiant pen, he writes them down
A battle he must wage.
To far off lands, he travels on
for stories to pursue
His quest: to bring back varied tales
and legends old and new.
A pot of gold
Ice caverns cold
Upon a story quest went he
To kingdoms far
Upon a star
A story to set free
Tales of tragedy and laughter
Ancient days long gone
A story quest,
A story quest,
The challenge carries on.
T'was long ago I left my home
Upon a misty morn'
Upon my steed, through forest deep
On pathways old and worn
Sir Quest, am I, that errant knight
The noble, brave and true
My quest: to bring back varied tales
And legends old and new.
A battle in a forest deep
A kiss to wake enchanted sleep
Upon a story quest I go
With gypsy song
Or drumbeat strong
A lullaby sung soft and low
Tales of fools and wizards
Over hill and dale
A story quest,
A story quest,
What stories I'll unveil!
Upon my quest I must return
In search of stories to unfold
A crusade, never-ending
to find the legends to be told
Sir Quest, am I, that errant knight
the noble, brave and true
My quest: to bring back varied tales
and legends old and new.
A battle in a forest deep
A kiss to wake enchanted sleep
Upon a story quest I go
With gypsy song
Or drumbeat strong
A lullaby sung soft and low
Stories last forever
Over hill and dale
A story quest,
A story quest,
For legend, myth, and tale!
