As per Rhiannon: the lyrical game Stevie Nicks plays here is sophisticated, and unique for rock music, if not for poetry. The narrative structure of the song forms a triad- the narrator holds up one end, narrating to the frazzled knight-at-arms, as he beholds Rhiannon, a witch-wife or demon enchantress, who she (the narrator) explains. It's an intriguing game, which recurs in Gold Dust Woman and Gypsy.
