Greetings all,
 A new friend of mine from Meridies wrote this, so I thought I'd share it
with the list.
I met this lord at Bordermarch Baronial & enjoyed his company at feast. It
would appear he enjoyed the event as much as I, well done, fellow Ansteorrans
for making him feel welcome.

Ode to Bordermarch

Hail, thee,
Bordermarch.
Is it faire,
that God has granted ye
all good things there?

Built 'round roses
on pillars of strength
Given thee, much heart,
nary a precious drop spent.

Gracefully woven
Thou brillance adorn
Etched in the stars
Oh, Mighty Ram's horn.

Flee to thy Border, and,
find a dream there still
Eternal-day light shine
God, grant e'er it will.

Cornelius
(April 2002, A.S. XXXVI)
