TOO MANY WINDS HAVE BLOWN

Too many winds have blown

from out the North

my gentle knights all slain

as they rode forth

The castle stands forlorn

on wasted earth

and every wall is claimed

by icy frost

A winter silence sweeps the land

and dearth

of valiance voiceless

cries the deadly cost:

my gentle knights all slain

as they rode forth

A cold sun seeks in vain

the stalwarts gone

who fought the chilling

North Wind wars and lost

Ah, whence can come again

this kingdom’s worth

of such sweet valor

lying now snow-mossed:

the gentle knights all slain

as they rode forth

Too many winds have blown

                          from out the North
