(I suspect that, when written, this song was the Elanthian version of "Swordlady"-- Leslac courting Tarma in Mercedes Lackey's Oathbreaker, if you're familiar with the novel.  Having come across "Stormdaughter's Lament", I may be wrong in that-- but I haven't been granted the dates of composition.  I promised Ylandria I'd include anything she handed me, so....  --Tanager's shadow.)

Child of wind and child of water
Walks the beaches all alone.
This the curse of storm's bright daughter:
Her heart's made of more than stone.

She is bound by sea winds calling,
Chained within by sea nymphs' song.
Dares not let herself start falling.
Feels that love, for her, is wrong.

As she watches fenvaoks tunring
In their pairs on blue-drenched skies,
She fights back her own deep yearning:
Longs for love, but self denies.

Half-webbed fingers sort through coral,
Seek to give the Sea its due.
Still she thinks she holds some quarrel
With her own emotions true.

I have not the right to name her--
Only she can truly say.
Yet I hope someone can tame her
Before her heart drifts away.
