"Para" of Scott's Song from "Lady of the Lake", Using same meter and rhyme scheme Options

[jgdittier]

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.

I'm just glad my time ain't over;
whether but tonight or more.
I still yearn for piping plover...
one more summer at the shore.

Excellent following of the original, Ron.  I'm pleased to be having you participate in gradually educating me, making me read excellent models.  I know I can do that without you, but the reality is, I just havent.  My difficulty in reading is no excuse for not having read this AT ALL... so thanks.

You represent the form very well, and your presentation, as Lori has said, is timeless.

deLightedly, Daniel  :sun:
