Thanks darga.
Randomly finished another song. This one is 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.
WreathThis 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 me
But I had to go awayThis is the wreath I placed by her bed
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 it would bind
I longed to accept, but left it behind
When I had to go awayThe wreath is a circle, a cycle unending
A meeting, a linking, a joining, a bindingTying our hearstrings together forever
Though I must go...Though she must go...
[both] Though I/she must go away
