Tonight I march
beneath the stars,
But, behold! a vision greater far.
With
music in my heart and hand,
I gaze 'pon the Drum Major's
stand,
And standing there, my brilliant muse,
Who's love I do
so fear to lose,
I fear to give it first.
His face is
handsome, proud, and true,
His eyes; a deepset, godly blue.
He
has a stature tall and grave,
Like a young knight upon
parade
Going to a distant land
With love in heart and sword in
hand,
To find his Lady true.
T'were he a knight, such tales
they'd tell,
He'd charm the monsters straight to Hell
With the
music of his soul
And strength to manage every goal.
He'd save
the Lady, win her heart,
In love they'd swear they'd never
part.
And thus shall end my fantasy
Of brave Sir Matthew's
gallantry.
