about

In a far southern wood stood a fair Unicorn
There he looked to the North of his land bravely born
And espied there a Ram in the chill of the morn
Thought he, ‘I would have such strength too’

With small courage at last he timidly asked
‘Noble Ram, could I ever be a strong as you?’
‘Never fear,’ said the Ram, ‘for I once was young too
‘And by the boldness of the Bear I grew’

Through the Northlands he passed and in strong voice he asked
‘Noble Bear, could I ever be a strong as you?’
‘Never fear,’ said the Bear, ‘for I once was young too
‘And by the wisdom of the Wolf I grew’

Growing bold to his task to the high seat he asked
‘Noble Wolf, could I ever be a strong as you?’
‘Never fear,’ said the Wolf, ‘for I once was young too
‘And by the grace of the Dragon I grew’

With his legacy learned he was ready to start
‘Graceful in words and now wise in my art
‘Bold in deed and now with a great strength in my heart
‘By these virtues of the North I’ll grow
‘By the Virtues of the North I grow’

Emily Holbert Kitchener, Ontario

Emily Holbert, known as “Emer nic Aidan” in the SCA, is a Celtic-inspired singer/songwriter based in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. Her “bardic-folk” songs tell tales of love and valour, whether recounting and reinventing Celtic mythologies and faerie tales, or recording ‘historical’ deeds within the SCA's Kingdom of Ealdormere.
Let her take you back to a time when bards sang around the fire! ... more
