FIRE-ROBIN'S SONG  
by Zycaneus  
Completed 06/02/1998  
  
  When Fire Robin cared,   
  all that we shared,   
  raised castles upon the sand,  
 Our fantasies told,     
  all we might hold,   
  in tales both tall and grand,  
 But Fire Robin there   
 laid journey to dare,   
 'fore offering her hand,  
 and many we found   
 of sharp blades to lay down,   
 as hopes for life were planned.  
  
  Fire Robin, Fire Robin dance with me,   
  Come dream with me once again  
  Fire Robin, Fire Robin Why can't it be,   
  That love is more then pretend  
  
  To Fire Robin told   
  my secret dreams bold   
  as stories chased passions grand  
  But my fingers did clutch   
  the passion too much   
  till truth like fire did brand.  
 And our castles so tall   
  we watched them all fall   
  as dreams slipped through our hands  
 Then we could see   
  we were never to be   
  as our seed fell on barren land  
  
  Fire Robin, Fire Robin dance with me,   
  Come dream with me once again  
  Fire Robin, Fire Robin Why can't I see,   
  Your love was only pretend.
