by Smitty

On that fateful Autumn eve
‘Neath a moon so full and bright
Moon maidens would dance and weave
Offering an eldritch sight

That was until Saint Thorgun came
Caught them at their pagan toil
Dared their awful prance to tame
And their magic cloth to coil

For though their wanton wiles were strong
They could not tempt a heart so pure
That was too young to know their wrong
And could long their sorceries endure

But even though his soul was smooth
And walk away in triumph true
Their cloth would his undoing prove
As material things so often do
