'THE LEGEND OF THE COVER LADY Once long ago in time thatis scarce recalled, There sprang to life a radiant maiden, high Upon the castle hill, where .wont to blow Was 0nd, the north windis strongest gusty breeze. And Ond each day the maidenis tresses blew Caressingly about her warm, soft cheeks. A griffin, tall and handsome as a god, Lived safe and snug within the castle walls, Safe-guarded by a band of griffins bold, Who scoffed at Ondhs attempt to freeze their wine. For they a toast would drink upon the towers, To the fair maid who danced beside their lord; As he her tresses wove into soft plaits. To shield them from the gusts of Ondhs cold breath. Then Ond grew wrathful, and from out the cave Of the north wind he summoned alliesi help; Until there raged upon the castle hill A cold winds overwhelming power and strength. It crept into the castle halls and towers, U ntil the griffin and his merry band Were hardened into everlasting stone, And perched aloft upon their battlements. Then Ond snatched up his cowering maiden fair, Unbound her tresses with his rushing gusts, And whirled her up into the very shy, Where still he keeps her, planet-sheltered, there, And wafts her tresses with his fitful gusts. Gaze up into the sky some starlit night, And see our Norther Ladyhs wind-tossed hair.
