The Ballad of Unicorn Isle Trevor Millum?

Answer 1

The ballad of unicorn Isle by Trevor Millum

Once upon a faraway time

Before the clocks had learned to chime

When every river spoke in rhyme

Once upon a time

Once within a distant land

Where mountains hadn't heard of man

Where dolphins played and bluebirds sang

Once within a land

Then and there in echoing light

Where gold was day and silver night

Lived unicorns of purest black and white

There in echoing light

One shining day in shimmering glade

The seer had come to speak they said

An ancient one with eyes of jade

One shimmering shining day

"I saw the future far away -

Hearken friends to what I say!

I saw grey night and I saw grey day

In the future far away!

I saw the pale two legged beast

Rise up from west, rise up from east

And slay our kind for fun and feast

The pale two-legged beast.

It hunted down the unicorn

It cut off head, it cut off horn

Or stole our foals as they were born

And caged the noble unicorn."

Once upon a desperate hour

In the shadow of the great moonflower

They made a pact to use their power

Upon a desperate hour.

So faded they from human sight

Though wild geese see them from their flight

And children dream of them at night

Invisible to human sight

Once within a faraway land

Where unicorns first heard of man

Where hotels rise and tourists tan

Once within a land…
