Masterharper

Ever since I was a young boy,

I played for the Harper Hall.

From High Reaches down to Ista,

I must have played them all.

Ain't seen anything like her,

In any Hold, Weyr or Hall --

That seaholdbred girl sure plays a mean gitar!

She writes songs so quickly,

She can beat my best.

She knows the Teaching Ballads,

When you put her to the test.

Ain't seen anything like her,

North, South East or West --

That seaholdbred girl sure plays a mean gitar!

I though I was

The Masterharper,

But I just gave

The Mastery to her.

How do you think she does it?

I don't know!

I can't understand it!

She was living in a cave,

Running from Threadfall,

Saved by Benden Weyr,

Ended up here at the Hall,

No way could she have done it,

But they love her song best of all,

That seaholdbred girl sure plays a mean gitar!
