Fairy Dreams' Gorgeous Deer (Villanelle)

I chase the trace, fairy dreams' gorgeous deer,
Blenched, my horse recoils admiring the verge,
It's love's province, whither thy footprints veer.
My hunter-instincts' flaming desires steer,
Continue, all night long, the endless search,
I chase the trace, fairy-dreams' gorgeous deer.
To vanquish thee, Red-deer King, in my wish
Drifting nightmares in floating daydreams merge,
It's love's province, whither thy footprints veer.
Night-demons sigh under the trees' dark green
Leaves, my breath trembles like a startled bird,
I chase the trace, fairy-dreams' gorgeous deer.
Seeking the noble shape, I wish to see
Again the grand, hidden land's secret world,
It's love's province, whither thy footprints veer.
Far and near, slowly waking sunrays cheer,
Shadows disappear, dropping down my sword
I chase the trace, fairy-dreams' gorgeous deer,
It's love's province, whither thy footprints veer.
