Heroic Sonnet For The Knightly Departed

From thy spiritual realm do ardently gaze.
Comrades and kins hand in hand together,
Preparing thy bed with solemn faces.
Heavy hearts yet heads held not nether,
Proud brothers and sisters stout strong
Shifteth to dress thy knightly sepulchre.


Sleep now and rest well beloved dearest.
In the timeless calmness of thine ossuary,
Think not of thy relinquished family bereft.
Troubled not and do not for once ever worry,
For here ever abiding is our khankho-nunkho
Shaping one another since the times ancient.


Loved ones this day bid thee transient farewell.
Regards to the old folks who'd advanced home,
While kinsmen pledge for to keep on the fire.
Rest now comrades to awake when we overcome.
Loving mother's lullaby, thy soothing sleepsong
Fearless father's trumpet, thy rejoicing victory rise.
