This is a song-gift to Turi MacKinnon and his bride Marguerite, in honor of their love and in celebration of their wedding day. It is a shared gift from me and Sir Cullan Mac Cianain, who asked me to write it, which was splendid because I was going to write one anyway! As both Turi and Marguerite were present the first time I sang for the Unbelts, their story begins there. Turi proposed to her following the Unbelted battle at Pennsic the following summer, and I was happy witness to that moment too. They are people of great joy, and their smiling faces were in my mind as this was composed. I hope it sounds as warm as the Pennsic sunlight, and as happy as these lovely people who have found each other.<\/em><\/p>\n

The violin part was played by my good friend Sam Hess.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/mbouchard.com\/misc\/The-Love-Story-of%20Turi-MacKinnon-and-His-Marguerite.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n

A fighter marched down with his friends one fine day
\nto sport on the tourney field green.
\nA maiden did come to watch the battle play
\nwhile they postured and fought to be seen.<\/p>\n

He said to his brother standing beside
\n\u201cWould that there were a lady for me.
\nHer honor I\u2019d fight for, my sword she would guide
\nand my love for her I would decree.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ladies were standing like flowers arrayed,
\nShe in blue stood apart from the rest.
\nShe said very softly from beneath her shade,
\n\u201cIf one would fight for me, I would love him the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so it begins there so sweet,
\nout in the sun and the hay
\nthe tale of life so complete
\nthe love story of Turi MacKinnon and his Marguerite.<\/p>\n

Came then a time of the winter’s cold bite
\nwhen warm thoughts are oft so far away
\nbut he muse’d much on the lady’s smile bright;
\nhow to her his heart convey.<\/p>\n

Then at long last did a message he send
\n\u201cSweet lady please grant my desire,
\nI beg come with me and a fine feast attend,
\nfor you I have come now to greatly admire.”<\/p>\n

And so it begins there so sweet,
\nout in the sun and the hay
\nthe tale of life so complete
\nthe love story of Turi MacKinnon and his Marguerite.<\/p>\n

In this fighting lad all delight she did find,
\nFor he was all the things she could dream.
\nThey were rose and thistle together entwined;
\ntheir joy like the sunlight did stream.<\/p>\n

He marched off the field one victorious day,
\nto the one who owned his arm and heart,
\nand there at her feet his whole life he did lay
\nwith a ring he did vow that they never would part.<\/p>\n

And so it begins there so sweet,
\nout in the sun and the hay
\nthe tale of life so complete
\nthe love story of Turi MacKinnon and his Marguerite.<\/p>\n

And so it begins there so sweet,
\nout in the sun and the hay
\nthe tale of life so complete
\nthe love story of Turi MacKinnon and his Marguerite.<\/p>\n
