They graze at night, the unicorns, upon the fresh-dewed grasses, Molten starlight flying as they toss their sapphire horns.<\/p>\n

They step with light and dainty hoof below the stony passes, Shimmer under shadow where the nightingale mourns. The bright manes ripple over dapple flanks,<\/p>\n

Quarter-moon racing past cloudy banks\u2014 Now on the warning wind of dawn they flee night\u2019s crimson death;<\/p>\n

They sleep in velvet forest shade; they spice it with their breath.<\/p>\n

The castle queens it on her hill, the crown of pride and power, Turreted and traceried and carven like a gem,<\/p>\n

With sunny court and golden hall, with wall and lordly tower<\/p>\n

Rich-tapestried with vine and grape, with rose on thorny stem; Rubies, damask, pomanders and swords\u2014 Wild loves, black hates, delights of wine and words\u2014<\/p>\n

Let pipe and tabor play! and thus, hand<\/p>\n

resting light on hand, With quicker-beating heart we\u2019ll foot the skipping allemande.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s goodly trade in unicorns, in castles and their treasure. Dragons are much demanded, endless caverns, eagly crags,<\/p>\n

There\u2019s trade in rings of elven work, in songs of striding measure, Star-smiting curses, aye, and quests, and splendid thumping brags. Come buy, come choose your heart\u2019s desire of these,<\/p>\n

Fable and dream, wondrous commodities. Already yours, these unicorns, as aught you owned yestre\u2019en,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
