What I Gave

I see a soldier over the rise It's there my enemy lay Startled, much to my surprize Down the hill, a soldier in gray With a steady pace, through the fog The morning's mist a wall A single shot, a barking dog A voice in the distance called My body's falling, no concern A spinning sky, a soaring bird A heart now stopped by the burn Before my last breath was heard What I gave, you ask of me My death before I knew love I took and oath, I couldn't flee I died because account of contest...
