An Ode to Humanity’s Spirit

By the Wanderer of Westmarch

c. 1869


 

Through the sweat of weavers many,

Is knitted together a rich litany.

Sometimes together and sometimes cloven,

A Tapestry regardless is slowly woven.

Adversity is never an easy plight,

But it is an enemy mankind can fight

By Sigismund’s wisdom, Godfrey’s might,

Owyn’s sword and Horen’s light.

 

JNyAeoDlncqyQ-DoY4J0cA5Ri8WvKyvM0W01O-Qar8V3y2_LtG9j2QrQRegCrcIjdflDktM9LYoiIS0N6nosSLx9sEPDGMx0t27Khh6NGQB8tGYwfNqxz_qB6KZz1g0EIsQl9z0J

 

Courage is found in the hearts of men,

The quantity of which is without end. 

Be our hearts merry or be they frozen

A Tapestry continues to be woven. 

 

JNyAeoDlncqyQ-DoY4J0cA5Ri8WvKyvM0W01O-Qar8V3y2_LtG9j2QrQRegCrcIjdflDktM9LYoiIS0N6nosSLx9sEPDGMx0t27Khh6NGQB8tGYwfNqxz_qB6KZz1g0EIsQl9z0J

 

Owyn’s kindred have hearts of flame,

And Godwin’s daughters our arts maintain. 

Humanity’s spirit can never be rendered

For the sons of Joren refuse to surrender.

Of universal truths, there is but one,

That all mankind is of Horen’s blood.

No matter our destiny the fates have chosen,

The Tapestry is never unwoven.

"This valah's poem certainly reminds me of my own when I was a youth of 60." The wandering elf, Lucius, nods, remembering his youth times in Siimah'sul, ink stained fingers admiring his errant work.
