"Leaf Inhouse"

Midnight in the cemetery
A light shines out
Past times remembered
Ringing out clear and far
But only in the hallowed halls
And hollowed graves
Of  vacant hearted
Forgotten heroes
It is a leaf inhouse
To honour the lost
Mirth and joy
Gone out
Into the night
Its candle
smolders still
Maidens sleep
Lamenting into the depths of sleep
Their ancient kings
At last finding peace
On the post battlefield pyre
Through the hearts the the departed
Welcome in the leaves
O Championed spirits
May ye rejoice
In celebration of thy passing
For thou art remembered
Upon the wind in the trees
