Fyrd Poem by Christopher Tye

Fyrd



Fyrd

For King and Country,
Young and old serving in the militia,
Remaining until King Harold died,
Duty served before the Norman's conquered.

I love old words with a lot of history that don't get used much these days as the English language evolves and splits into geographical variations.
