_originally posted by Konran_ …for the widows of Dier Kenton Vale." Janny, would you happen to have the full version of this lying about anywhere? If so, any chances of posting it? 😃 ~ the curious, poetically addicted chaotic one ---

Konran - You Asked. I did post this once, before, but it was in an unrelated topic…which is long since scrubbed out. Your rerun of the complete lyric: Masterbard's Lament for the Widows of Dier Kenton Vale Arithon s'Ffalenn Third Age Year 5647 If tears were hardened stone to carve a monument to grief, would we let loss and trouble starve our spirits for belief? Our men have gone from home and hearth and faith has made us weep. If feet that marched the earth to war could count their wounds by steel, and blood that scorched clean ground in gore could speak in words that feel, the cry would ring forevermore for mercy and repeal! If song could hold sharp edge to fight through distrust, rage and fears, and hope blaze up as blinding light to burn through pain and tears, if heart touched mind, and eyes held sight would blight and blame not clear? If vengeful shouts toward mercy bent, and care unstopped deaf ears, would every spirit not transcend to bind up hurts and heal? Would every voice not cry to end the sorrows of the years? If tears were hardened stone to carve inscribe my cry for life: let no man raise his unsheathed sword, may no man draw his knife, that this, our sore and grieving land waste no more hearts to strife! No cause is scribed in fire and star – then whose truth must we heed? Why bind the will and blind the heart more lives to rend and bleed? Our men have gone from home and hearth and hate has made us weep! (Note: this is copyright material by the author, and not to be removed from this website. Thank You.) ---

_originally posted by Trys_ Janny, If there are other complete songs maybe an area on the website should be created for these? Trys ---

This will need to go on the back burner, a bit…I have enough on my plate at the moment…but if the Gryphon gets enough sheep to put the current lyric into FAQ, and begin the space, I'll embroider on it eventually. (other notes I need to unbury first…) (And there are lots of finished drawings whose scans need clean up…ah, the wonders of housekeeping an expanding, make believe universe. 😃 ) ---

_originally posted by Trys_ I can certainly start an area on the website and start with this song. Certainly no hurry on adding more. I can do 'em when they come along. ---

_originally posted by Kris_ I was excited to see the whole song posted. A while back I had written music to it (no doubt nothing like what it's supposed to be…I'm not nearly skilled enough), but I only had the first and last two verses. Thanks for the post and for suggesting it in the first place :D! ---
