\nThe veil is thin perhaps unreal, somewhat untrue,
\ndistance it is, in faint tone, he faces the apparition,
\na step and she is not nearer, a step and she seems\u2026 gone\u2026
\nHe may despair as a hand reaches out aimlessly.
\n 
\nInto the lightness of the night, tending the darkness of a morn\u2019,
\nundefined as others, she sings of assured forms;
\nhe can not know for certain in the ruins of the fortress,
\nghost of the lady of middle times or mistress of his soul.
\n 
\nShe may sit on a cornerstone, birther of life eternal,
\ndisappear into the dungeon wall, or hold in her hand
\nthe statue of a powerful lord almighty, in her feebleness
\nyet she desires, she wants, she yearns for a life hers.
\n 
\nTake courage young squire, the mist is traitorous,
\nwhen fearing the treasure that lies beyond the image,
\nshe is, she exists for the one who braves, unknown,
\nreward awesome, you will live in paradise.
\n 
\nMisty, undefined, unreal to the outsider,
\nyet she is, no doubt, remains of her existence;
\nhave faith, believe, as you walk toward the apparition,
\nthe embrace tightens; she will crush your heart into hers so.
