Warrior's Lullaby

(by LD Holland)

My wings bear you up 
Carried o'er the battle sore 
Hold you safe in my heart 
'Til the morrow breaks ashore 
In the cradle of my love 
May your rest be sweet 
And your peace restored 
When the night's complete. 

All the sleeping maidens left 
On the shores of paradise 
As the sword and trumpet steal 
Light of life from all their eyes 
But fair warrior and king 
Grief is never borne alone 
For the heart of all the world 
Rests with thee upon the throne.
