Do not fear, O
southern men
Of shadows in the
north
Gath'ring dark from
vale deep.
The Great King shall
burst forth
And at his hand
shall come a wrath
That evil fears and
loathes.
Light that wins the
battle nigh;
The Great King's who
it clothes.
The King shall send
an agent first
Who'll rule with
council wise.
His people chosen
from the start
Who darkness' slaves
despise,
Who shadow's host so
truly hate
And try their very
best to raze
The strength the
King gives to his men
But naught but He's
obeyed.
Alone the agent
shall be not;
A lady shall be sent
Of insight rare and
judgment great
And raised by
teacher bent
With hair like
fire-flax spun gold
That tumbled from
the heavens;
Child of the
daughter fifth
Daughter of the
seventh.
Through ashes dark
and ledges sharp
His country soon
shall travel
With eyes for their
Great King alone
And so the dusk
unravels
At the foot of
golden mount
The warring shall be
closed
The souls of light
be taken up
And truth to them
exposed.
Feasts enough to
feed a realm
Shall fill His halls
of gold.
Decked with only
light and warmth
The Great King's
garb is to behold .
Yet ere all of the
laughter great
Suffering cruel
shall be
But only those with
fervent faith
Shall dine with
their Great King.

ReplyDeleteThe poem is really interesting. For the sake of literary analysis, it would be great if you could post about what the poem is written in context of, however, I fully understand if you choose not to write on this and leave it to the reader to come up with.
