dusk arising

of Elspenore pt 2

gathered came
the noble sworn
bereft of sword
nor treaty

 

as silent hung 
the steely night
to witness
this, no duty

 

here raised a cup
each sombre face
blood brothers
of the flames

 

drawn as one
assembled here
a mournful
chant to raise

 

drawn for
brothers fallen
parade the
midnight shore

 

beneath the stars
a song of praise
for the gods
