In a time of lockets, a time of lace Fled from there and left no trace I bunched my skirts, took off my shoes And ran Anne Shirley spirit and a mandolin I've worn my dimpled, pirate grin And used the fine bone china For the cold, dry gin Wild Maeve, I'll ride bare back Hildegard off the beaten tracks Gloria in Excelsis, Freedom, and a Dodi Li Salted season and a Holy One Pearls in cupboards and hot cross buns The willow and the tulips Join nasturtium Saved by music and saved by rain Feel the drops wash away pain Blithely, Gilbert swoops right in To take me away Saved by letters and saved by loves Warmed by shining up above Small ones frolic in the grasses Just right there Braid flowers into fairy crowns Sew curtains into royal gowns Pile the wood so high for Stolen nights Hidden deep, deep in the woods The only sound, the hummingbirds Thorn fences to protect us, too From prying eyes I once knew quite the motley crew Of evil banshees who would stew Whenever I would bloom Before the thaw So I closed the door on their shrill cries I saw the open, clearest skies I made a way of living Far from them Saved by a still crooning voice I realized there was a choice Felt all their arms enfold me As their own Caught my dreams in widest nets Butterflies and rubies set In rings that did adorn My dancing hands The small, old schoolhouse Has new rooms And new books Scented like perfume Take my hand Cross the creek I will meet you there Each week Use gold leaf As you speak "Once upon a time…" You seek And shall find All the things That the prophets Did foresee In a time of lockets, a time of lace I furnished with the gift of grace The cream did get the cat This time around My ear that's placed low to the ground No longer barrows But living mounds The bees will hear that I am here to stay
