A tous les sujets du Royaume en mal de douceur, aux Chevaliers et Chevalières, à la Reine des Pommes ... Avec une pensée pour Reine-Zinzin et pour Charles-Ernest
Legend of a girl child Linda sung in 1967 by Joan BAEZ, Judy COLLINS & Mimi FARINA Music and lyrics by the scotish singer DONOVAN
I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze. Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes. A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace Lies still in the magic of a timeless place. One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves That rest on their hands with the touch of love. On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown. And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree. The doves circle over and land in the trees Where parrots are talking their words with such ease. Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day: "There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away." If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers. The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay.
