Maire's Dream

Lyrics: Master John Inchingham
Music: Come Over the Water to Charlie - Trad

Chorus:
	Come dance ye the duello, come prance with cold steel Come dance with the rapier of Maire, Come weal, come woe, come gather and go To live the dream of Maire
Verses:
	Come ladies of courage, come brave lords and true Come answer the challenge of Mairie I scorned her call once, but now I am sworn To follow the rapier of Maire She challenged the midrealm with her thin Spanish blade And met with much scoffing and mockery But those who laughed most are now grave men indeed And the rest of us all follow Maire I was but a young fool when first I did meet The bold blond blade-maiden of Eire I laughed at her sword once but never again She wounded my heart so sorely Come ladies of courage, come brave lords and true Come answer the challenge of Mairie I scorned her call once, but now I am sworn To follow the rapier of Maire
