Reverend Kirk was taken down
By the Welkin wit and guile
He was ushered underground
To face the Fairy trial
He was born the seventh son
And saw with second sight
A saintly man who didn’t shun
Such a pagan Pixie rite
___
The Commonwealth of the Fairy rings
Down in Doon Hill
The Seelie Court of the Dawn Queen sings
Down in Doon Hill
The Unseelie Host brays and screams
Down in Down Hill
All the while Robert Kirk dreams
Down in Doon Hill
___
The Reverend journeyed to the Netherworld
Saw wonderous sights so grand
Fairy lights that twinkled and twirled
And Brownies hand in hand
Satyrs and Sylphs dancing with delight
To a merry piping flute
Sparkling streamers in flitting flight
To an Elven trumpet toot

___
A hush hangs as Robert appears
The Seelie Fey hide swift
Queen Glenowen must allay their fears
For she recognizes Robert’s gift
May they always welcome the Minister merrily
Amongst the Seelie Fey
But woe to him should he unwarily
Unto the Unseelie stray

___
After years of jaunts beneath the soil
His luck hard turned to gloom
The Unseelie, wary of the priest of Aberfoyle
Led him to his doom
Through subtle sound and lights misseen
He was led astray
By Red-Capped Gnomes and Goblins green
Where he remains this day
