| Based on The Sending, where Rushton manages to propose to Elspeth just before she leaves on her quest. The end stanza makes reference to the golden link joining them. Regular lines are sung by rushton, lines in italics by Elspeth. Wreath This is the wreath I gave to her A symbol, I hoped, of our future With it I pledged my love to her But that night she went away That was the wreath he gave to me The sign of a future that can never be With it he gave his heart to be But I had to go away This is the wreath I placed by her bead A message of all that we'd left unsaid I found it again, left on her bed The night that she went away That was the wreath he left me to find In hope that to him, me he would bind I longed to accept, but left it behind When I had to go away The wreath is a circle, a cycle unending A meeting, a linking, a joining, a binding Tying our hearstrings together forever Though I must go... Though she must go... [both] Though I/she must go away |
