The Lonely River of Tears Premiere Contest Winner

From weary roads Where thoughts escape A peaceful day Has gone away In battle cries To raise a hand Where war remains For he who stands Shall one day find A love preserved Upon sweet hills Of morning birth Where hushed She sits Comsumed of tears Her loving soldier For whom she fears Has gone away Through endless nights In silent thought She dreams beside The lonely river Of tears
