Bright knight
Gallopping over the fields
manes fluttering in the wind
the saddle empty
no one on her back
Somewhere in the distance
a mist is coming up
she rides straight at it
without any stop
Her rider on the floor
the branch took him down
totally unconscious
no one around
His wife starts to miss him
she organizes a search
after a while they find him
and bring him into church
A doctor comes to examine him
says sorry and shakes his head
I find this really heart to tell
but he does not longer live
His wife cries and mumbles
what a blessing in disguise
right here in Fathers house
that saves a bit of time
Later on she came home
the widow was really pleased
told her that the job was done
and rewarded her with hay
