[Glaslyn] Friedrich

[ED Reese]

Freidrich
(For Dona Antonia)

I heard the roll of the Honored Dead:
Heaven trembles wtih a new Hero's tread.
I did not know the man, but I know the loss ~
A Black Star fallen far from home;
A Man who did not count the cost.

He must have been quick of grin,
Bright-eyed, strong...
Perhaps a taste for gentle sin.
Baron Thomas's Man, Sir Kein's Good Left Hand ~
Now a Guardsman in the Stellar Host that rides above this land.

When Love cries, pearls are born:
Adornment for a circlet never worn.
His life was given in our care;
A Sable Shield his Croix de Guerre....
His memory is left to us to save ~
The Bitter Glory of the Brave.

So this our Honor, and this our Pledge:
His name will lend our steel a sharper edge.
We will remember him in deed and word,
His Lady KC's Own True Lord:
Baron Friedrich von Koningsburg.
