Merlin Poem by Mary Champion

Merlin, are you merely legend,
a myth conceived in a fevered mind?
Or were there ancient witnesses
recording your exploits?
And who was that master that you served
guiding him with your wisdom?
Was there ever Camelot
where noble knights defended
all men's right to Truth and Justice?

Or is it all a prophecy,
a hint of things to come?
Will Science be the magic employed
to save us from the tyranny
of Nature's careless power?
