If there is still time to add submissions I would like to add this one. It is a memorial poem for Duke Jean Richard.
 
Requiem In Purpure
 
No longer heavy is the head 
That bore the Kingdom's crown.
And the weighty chain of knighthood
Can no longer bear him down.
To some he is a fallen King,
A Duke of high renown.
But, no longer heavy is the head
That bore the Kingdom's crown.
 
No more our eyes rejoice to see
Him sit upon the throne.
Not for him the Stellar crown
That on his brow once shone.
Now a crown of brighter stars
Is his, to call his own.
But, no more our eyes rejoice to see
Him sit upon the throne.
 
The bards now sing you requiem 
In Argent and Purpure.
I see your House of Purple,
And the young man you once were.
My liege is gone, my grief
A hurt no chiurgeon can cure.
So, the bards now sing you requiem 
In Argent and Purpure.
 
 
HL Elanor O'Ruark

"Little girls, this seems to say, Never stop upon your way. 
Never trust a stranger-friend; No one knows how it will end. 
As you're pretty, so be wise; Wolves may lurk in every guise. 
Handsome they may be, and kind, Gay, or charming never mind! 
Now, as then, 'tis simple truth... 
Sweetest tongue has sharpest tooth!"

Greetings all,
Once again, I'm putting out the call to gather original works to publish in Voices of the Star, Volume II.  It has been a few years since I put out the last call for pieces, so hopefully some of you have been composing since then, and with luck we can get enough submissions to publish this time.

The requirements are pretty simple.  Pieces must be submitted by current/former Ansteorrans, or be written by friends from other kingdoms about Ansteorra(ns).  Pieces must be submitted to me along with a letter of permission to publish.  There is a limit of three pieces per author.  Songs, poems, and stories are all welcome!  If you send a song, please either include the tune it was based on (and corresponding composer), or if possible, please send me a copy of the sheet music to include.

In addition, original period-style line art drawings or wood block prints are also wanted for decoration.  Again, permission to publish artwork is likewise required.

If anyone has any questions about this project, feel free to contact me at this email address.  Voices of the Star, Volume I is available for download at http://bard.ansteorra.org/files.html

In service,

HL Alden Drake
A Bard
