A place by the fire
to tell the dragons tale
or legends of pirates
riding under blackened sailA place by the fire
to tell of warriors bold
of castles and treasures
and the heroes of oldA place by the fire
to tell tales of the heart
of honor and chivalry
and the lovers partA place by the fire
to tell of princes and kings
or of councilors wise
and the bard who singsA place by the fire
warms the teller of stories
who entertains all
and remembers past gloriesA place by the fire
waits for all who come
to hear the teller of tales
until the evening is done.
