THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 95 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THE MISTS DISPERSE, AND LO! BEFORE THEIR EYES
Last Line: PROCLAIM ANOTHER DAY OF TASK AND STRIFE.
Subject(s): KNIGHTS & KNIGHTHOOD; WAR;

The mists disperse, and lo! before their eyes,
The sun's rays visualising scarp and tower,
Sir Eliduc's broad battlements uprise;
The warming landscape glistens like a flower
When on its vestments morn's first emerald lies;
The lark's blithe carol greets the matin hour;
On the boon air the hum and stir of life
Proclaim another day of task and strife.
