-----

Cold and Fair,
Hiding golden hair
Her sword clasped in her hand
The morning breeze
Sings through the breeze
As she rides to a blood stained land

A halfing small
Looks like he will fall
Fall off the tall mare that gallops fast
She is not afraid
Though she has disobeyed her Uncle’s forbidding wish

The clanking swords are loud
To her they sound so proud
A death in battle would be so just
Anything to get away
From an ill-loved yesterday
With a man she hardly knows

How deep is her suffering
To be killed in war would be so pleasing.
The only way to leave this place
Maybe hope will come
When the battle is done
If she could survive it all
If she could stand strong and not fall

A woman hidden as a man.
