Hero's lament

Description

Alone she now lies in cold sand,
she who was known across the land.
People came to see her valor,
to hear her deeds which were galore.

Her face was fair and high she stood,
her posture like a great pine wood.
None like her was in her gender,
still her heart was warm and tender.

With the sword she had no flaw,
to her loyalty was like a law.
With her wisdom she gained fame,
all her rivals were put to shame.

Her death was slow and cruel,
dark monster won the duel.
She fought with courage but all was vain,
her fate was to die alone in pain.

Others have taken her fame by theft,
nothing but broken bones are left.
No one knows where they are,
maybe far from home, maybe not afar.

Alone she now lies in cold sand,
she who was known across the land.
People came to see her valor,
to hear her deeds which were galore.

This picture was inspired by my poem above and vice versa. The original poem was made in Finnish but here you can see the translated version.

Art and poem are created by me.
