[Ansteorra] Death of a Great Lady

[HerrDetlef]

OH MY GOSH! I'm so sorry to hear about Mistress Arlene's passing, but the
night sky will be brighter in Ansteorra now, with that star shining in the
heavens!

Of course, the first thing I thought of was the last song in the movie
"Waking Ned Devine." We will be forever in your debt, Your Excellency!

Pax et bonum,
DT+LF

The Parting Glass (High Kings version)

Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm I've ever done,
alas it was to none but me.

And all I've done for want of wit
to mem'ry now I can't recall;
So fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be to you all.

[So] fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away.
And all my sweethearts that e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay.

But since it fell unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be to you all.
