2 Cib
Yellow Lunar Warrior
From Rome to Byzantium
The Poet sings
Glories of Arthur
And Bardic Kings---
Beowulf of Denmark
Roland de France
And Charlemagne with
Swords of Romance
Warriors of Persia---
Greece and Egypt---
Ancient Mesopotamia
Where Gilgamesh fought
These Epic Tales
Praise Warriors of Yore---
Heroes in Battle
Become Legend and Lore
Here is the Mark of Mnemosyne---
Mother of Muses---Cultural Memory
With her daughters Kleo and Kalliope
Keeping for Posterity
Beloved History---Identity
High poetic Art
Sung for Days---
Known always by Heart.
