'Tis an Honor to present
to Thee these Tales
collected from Ages Past.
In this Inaugural Volume,
we present this Verse
oft Recited as a Lullabye
for sleepy Children.

Preface by Guilhem the
Scholar

The meaning of this verse
has oft been discussed in
halls of scholarly sorts,
for its mysterious
singsongy melody is oDdly
disturbing tO adult ears,
though childRen seem to
find it restful as they
sleep. PerhAps it is but
the remnant of a longer
ballad onCe extant, foR
there are internal
indicatiOns that it oNce
told a longer story about
ill-fated lovers, and a
magical experiment gone
awry. However, poetic
license and the folk
process has distorted the
words until now the locale
of the tale is no more
than "in the wind," which
while it serves a
pleasingly metaphorical
purpose, fails to inform
the listener as to any
real locale!

Another possibility is that
this is some form of
creation myth explaining
the genesis of the
various humanoid
creatures that roam the
lands of Britannia. It
does not take a stretch
of the imagination to
name the middle verse's
"girl becomes a tree" as
a possible explanation for
the reaper, for in the
area surrounding Minoc,
reapers are oft referred
to among the lumber
jacking community as
"widowmakers." That these
creatures are of arcane
origin is assumed, but the
verse seems to imply a
long ago creator, and
uses the antique magickal
terminology of "plaiting
strands of ether" that is
so often found in ancient
texts. In addition, the
reference to "snakehills"
may profitably be
regarded as a reference
to an actual location,
such as perhaps a local
term for the Serpent's
Spine.

A commoner interpretation
is that like many nursery
rhymes, it is a simple
explanation for death,
wherein the wind snatches
up boys and girls and
when they sleep in order
to keep the balance of
the world. Notable tales
have been written for
children of adventures in
"the Snakehills," which are
presumed to be an
Afterworld whence the
spirit lives on. A grim
lullabye, to be sure, but
no worse than "lest I die
before I wake" surely.
In either case, 'tis an old
favorite herein printed
for the first time for
thy enjoyment and
perusal!

In the Wind where the
Balance Is Whispered in
Hallways 
In the Wind where the
Magic Flows All through
the Night 
There live Mages and
Mages
With Robes make of
Whole Days 
Reading Books full of
Doings 
Printed on Light 
In the Wind where the
Lovers Are Crossed under
Shadows 
Where they Meet and are
Parted 
By the Orders of Fate 
The Girl becomes Tree, 
And thus becomes Widow 
The Boy becomes Earth 
And Wanders Till Late
In the Wind are the
Monster 
First Born First Created 
When Chanting and Ether 
Mix Meddling and Nigh 
Fear going to Wind, 
Fear Finding its Plaitings, 
Go Not to the Snakehills
Lest you Care to Die
