Fair Jewel of Atlantia

What measures a man, his honor or strength,
Or his lady for which he does fight?
For it is she that inspires him 
She’s his jewel of beauty and light.

In the halls of Atlantia there is such a gem; 
She’s a beauty beyond all compare.
Upon her head sits the crown of the land
And beneath beats a heart so fair.

In court she sits with her ladies around.
Her wisdom a gift for the king.
Her hair of spun moonlight the angels did weave,
And the halls with her laughter does ring.

This rose of Atlantia blooms in strength and heart
No gems could e'er shine so grand.
She listens to all with a smile so warm.
A treasure for all Atlantians.

For in her the king's found honor and strength
A rare gem for which he does fight.
For it is she that inspires him.
She’s his jewel of beauty and light.
