In all of France was held
A great, poetic Joust
The Court of Eleanor
Celebrated Troubadours
This day the winner unknown
A very handsome, young man
Who refused to give his name
Or where he had come from
Aura of mystery
His kindness and beauty
Soon made him a favorite
With the ladies of the court
Griselda, wistful girl
Young daughter of Lord Foix
Fell in Love with the Knight
And declared her Love for him
They were married in secret
He took her to his home
Only on the condition
Only see him when he chose
The lady made a promise
To be with her true love
She would never try to find
The secret that he kept
One night she fell asleep
Within her lovers’ arms
She woke up in a castle
Her husband was beside her
You are here in my house
Which now belongs to you
You are my Lady, true Love
All that is mine is yours
If you need anything
I will gladly give to you
I wish only for your Love
Do not forget your promise
The young prince would leave her arms
A locked room in the castle
Curiosity took over
The young Lady had to see
She crept up to the door
And spied through the crack there
Horrified she did watch
He turned into a Dragon!
Green scales and powerful wings
She cried out in horror
The Dragon Prince wheeled around
Terrified wife in doorway
Deeply hurt by betrayal
The Prince had her removed
The Court of Aquitaine
Never again to see her
She could not forget her Love
And not a day passed by
Happiness beside Dragon
And so she wrote this for him
