Long Rest (Contest entry) (Requiescat by Briton Rivière) Oh master why's your rest so long Command and I'll obey You lay there post your victory And at your side I'll stay I seen them lift you from the field Of combat when you fell My Knight you lay there peacefully Their treatment did you well The soldiers armed from war they lay Your sword apon your chest The peasants come and you they saw Completely battle dressed Their eyes were filled with tears but I Attention will hold true For my commander I will yield Respect that he is due No movement yet, but I will wait Beside this makeshift bed Until the moment you arise To pat me on my head I brace my paws my noble lord In hope that I'll prevail My pride it becons me stand tall Instead my hind legs fail Oh master why's your rest so long Command and I'll obey You lay there post your victory And at your side I'll stay
