The Krienol Legend
1.
Igie Krie was bold and bearded.
On
a kind of quest adventure,
Seeking seeds in ancient,
wondrous,
Long forgotten land of
Krienols.
2.
Ochre earth was once transparent.
And
the sun was deeply shing.
Sowing seeds was his
endeavour;
For
he knew the herbs of healing.
3.
King Kroleen lay old and ailing,
Not
a word, would he now utter.
Mute he came back from the
Mudlands,
No
one knew the reason for it.
4.
Iggy sought the root intended
For
restoring words and phrases,
Lost amidst the drooping
dismal
Mudlands underneath the
marshes.
5.
There were gardens 'round the castle;
But
Kalayariss grew not there.
Ancients never sowed the
seedling,
For
they vanished all together....'
