Rest, O warrior, conflict's done.
Endless be the sleep you're sleeping. Dream no more of field and gun, Free from pain and free from weeping. Here is respite, here is peace, Loving hands are you caressing. From war's horrors find release. Evils others are addressing. Rest, O warrior, conflict's done. Dream no more of field and gun. Endless be the sleep you're sleeping, Gone the pain and gone the weeping. To see the original http://eir.library.utoronto.ca/rpo/display/poem1821.html ·······  ······· |

Hi Ron
I have to say that I prefer your version to Sir Walter Scott's. It is much less sentimental. Yours seems to paint a much more realistic stark picture. My favourite line has to be Evils others are addressing. Thanks for the read Nina |
