Yehudah’s Elegy

Isabeau
Yehudah’s Elegy

Isabeau della Farfalla

Oct., 2009

 

 

My battered hat no longer graces pate

My muddy boots no more paths will tread

My worn medals but old gifts from the great

My tattered cloak but rags for warmth abed

My conscience held straight though logic it bends

My time’s up for now, keep Watch well my friends

 

This walking staff now no legs will support

These my cords now with yon Pale Horse must ride

This herald’s tabard no longer calls Court

This crier box must in silence abide

Oft spoke in jest my tongue to slips it lends

My time’s up for now, keep Watch well my friends

 

My time’s up my friends and ‘tis your time now

Watch over the young keep them safe and sound

Enjoy companions as time will allow

Let all be welcome and the mirth abound

Here I’d begun again and now here it ends

My time’s up for now, keep Watch well my friends
