The singers of songs and tellers of tales
have magic their very own.
Around glasses of mead and tankards of ale,
the legends and stories are known.
On lute and on lyre the melodies sing
and touch in our deepest hearts.
Spirits take flight and feet have wings
from the moment the music starts.
The keepers of myths and legends of old
have power to heal and enthrall.
The bards guard a treasure more precious than gold,
they keep on behalf of us all.
No less than a king or a warrior strong, are they held in highest regard– the gods tell their tales and sing us their songs through the heart and the voice of a bard.
