One pearl for a lady with heart wide and loving
Who never denies an embrace
One pearl for the skill that the whole hall is toasting
Accomplishments gone without trace
One pearl like the moonrise eclipsed by her sunlight
Still warm even burdened with care
For one who would carry the needs of the people
One pearl for the strength of the bear
One pearl for the valour of one who steps forward
When all others feel it's too much
To show by example what it means to be noble
One pearl for her labours of love
Who never denies an embrace
One pearl for the skill that the whole hall is toasting
Accomplishments gone without trace
One pearl like the moonrise eclipsed by her sunlight
Still warm even burdened with care
For one who would carry the needs of the people
One pearl for the strength of the bear
One pearl for the valour of one who steps forward
When all others feel it's too much
To show by example what it means to be noble
One pearl for her labours of love

ReplyDeleteThe title of Baron or Baroness is a rank of great honour within the Society, and only these nobles are entitled to wear coronets with six pearls upon them. This song was written for Baroness Ursula na Clan na Rath, renowned for her ability to stay cheerful even when cooking in a hot kitchen for hundreds of people.
