The day long and hard fought;

Bodies of the deceased line the bight of the shoreline,

Armies prepared to march into battle.


The group pushed back down;

Unable to continue fighting.

Craven wights flee the losing side;

Only to receive trumpery in return,

Their loyalty to be disdained.


A mere group of ten remains,

Prepared to fight as the bodies were.

They give all to remain,

Absolute, but not absent, they fight for;

To the grave they run,

Unwilling to look back.


A twinge of sadness fills me;

Whilst I was the one who truly ran.

For these ornaments already ornament my body,

We've already won;

The group perishes.
