Sights one night he saw a king
A child born of wonder
Tales of it would fill the world
Of powers torn asunder
On his staff a tiny star
A gift he had not sought it
Deep from in her blackened garb
The jewel from true loves pocket
Came an eve at sunsets pause
A vision came to sight
Atop his mountain o're the ridge
Of a licorice Black Knight
Merlin looked on valley rich
Fair beauty sprung to life
Catching eye, it's queen of maids
This Camelots first wife
At night he went to see her
From his cave atop the ridge
The Black knight never saw him
With his eyes set on the bridge
They spoke of ancient legends
And the history of her lands
Before the Black Knight won it
By the violence of his hands
Loneliness had built a void
Tears hoped for his falling
Black knight never there to see
Merlins time was calling
Passions fury one night rode
Its price unlocked her gates
None but Merlin held her heart
Beyond their parting fates
Merlin left his starlight true
For what it may become
Off to travel far and wide
And bring a chosen one
Merlin found that strapping boy
Convinced him to be king
After years of training him
To take the Black Knights ring
Many years had come to pass
Arthurs time it nears
Take the Black knight off the bridge
And save our Guineveres
-Hermit King-
