Listening to every heart

Brave Hearts

come, and then, come again
walk ye halls then walk thy glen
traverse with me a mist of mile
soon be here, so spend the while
pleas are but once renewed
see through fogs that visit you

ah me bonny, winsome child
it has been some since the wild
of yesteryear we bore lament
though gave not in to torment
we held us strong in our cleave
now hootin’ owls toll our eve

this land, this realm, it gives us rest
come now my bonny to a breast,
to sleep soft, thus cleave to one
bringing life with morning’s sun
sustenance shall bring to thee
with songs we sing, merrily

no fog brings forth to you a dirge
escaping diseased mists that surged
forth with claim for any name
new countries shall hold our fame
come, and then, come again
walk ye halls then walk thy glen

this land anew shall be our start
for we’ve come with strong, brave hearts

Just love this verse....the rest is very good too but this one stuck in my mind!!

                                  "ah me bonny, winsome child
                                 it has been some since the wild
                                  of yesteryear we bore lament
                                  though gave not in to torment
                                  we held us strong in our cleave
                                   now hootin’ owls toll our eve"

Wonderful, so you think you really can start over? I so hope it's true.
This is very inspirational, I feel about to embark upon a new journey, just from the read.
