For Northshield
For Northshield
© 2005 George Reed
Do you hear distant thunder rolling from Caid?
Do you feel a coming dawn approaching at speed?
Can you feel Sir Angus stop and smile proudly there?
Do you hear the ancient voice of Finn Jarl say “Prepare!”
If you see it and you hear it gather in the north…
Time will come in earnest to bring your fellows forth…
Time will turn the wheel and summon up a spring…
Where voices of the northlands lift up and sing!
Above granite Northshield, Golden Gryphons fly…
Lights tell of legends in distant, northern skies…
Come! Gather up your fellows…hie north and you will see…
Brother to the Dragon, Gryphon flying free…
Border Downs to Nordskogen, Castel Rouge and back again…
Jaravellir and Windhaven, Caer Anterth Mawr and then…
You are only just beginning to see the many stars…
Shining in the Northshield, beacons from afar…
Where madness held a music heard around the world…
Above the voice of Wyndreth a banner unfurls…
The rede of Owen Alun spinning in tales…
Come! Hear their voices sing beyond the Pale…
Far Above…
They have given of their finest to rule in Dragonsholme…
No matter who their foe is, they never stand alone…
They lit the flame of friendship with an eternal spark…
Released from the dragon, not from the dragon’s heart…
No counting of service, nor of mighty deeds…
Of Gryphon’s golden children…Our children shall read…
Tales of the north lands told by the bards…
Eternal is the glory before the compass star..
Far above…
