From Rome to Byzantium
The Poets sing
Glories of Arthur and
Bardic Kings---
Denmark’s Beowolf
Roland de France
Charlemagne with
His Sword, “Joyeuse”
Warriors of Persia---
Greece and Egypt---
Ancient Mesopotamia
Where Gilgamesh tamed Uruk---
These Epic Tales
Praise Warriors of Yore---

This is the Mark of Mnemosyne---
Mother of Muses---Cultural Memory
With her Daughters Kleo and Kalliope
Keeping for Posterity

High poetic Art
Sung for Days---
Known always by Heart.
