I. Born from war and hell, these flags we burn to lie
Within a soldier’s dream, on fields of starving flies,
To be but what to be, in quilts that we must dye
Running through a stream, so elegantly strife.
II. Thundering on the sea, these storms the God’s deny
Cresting like a wave, reflected in an eye,
Decaying in a tree, the heaven for us mite
Be dancing on a grave, blinded by a light.
III. Picture cloudless skies, these birds of shadowed flight
Crackling from a fire, rising in the night,
With prayers the kings forgave, a righting of the rite
And lauding that they sing, of body fair and blight.|
