Eulogy to a Nameless Soldier

• Artist: Alfonse-Maldrant
• Description: A poem I wrote and entered into a contest(not on gaia for those who may jump to conclusions). It was published in a collection of poems, by other entrants, called 'Brilliance'. Also a shout out to Khrista_Lynn who enjoyed my last submission so much.

Thou who fell in battle bloody
Nameless now and ever resting
See ne're more your comrades dying
And pray victory lies after your besting

I give praise to you, oh nameless brave
Who saw in last the rising sun, crimson
Never to rest at peace in the grave
Though soul has flead from body's prison

You bore to battle banner flying
Sword and Shield and Armor Bright
Alas, for now your banner's burning
And your armaments are broken in the fight

Now also must I end this verse
For breath has faded and eyes dimmed
Fear not that you'll be remembered worse
Because of length-acquitted ryhme.
