In The Lake
john binns
In the lake something stirred,
A hand appeared,
The hand gripped a sword
And the sword gleamed in the sun,
On the bank two strangers met,
“Are ye ready?” asked one,
“Aye, I’m ready,” answered the other,
“What is that over there?”
“Why it’s... it’s the Sword of Stephen,
I always thought it was a fable,”
“We must cancel our plans,”
“Aye, cancel the plans.”
