Love A Dream Nightmare Dance Of Death Poem by Terence George Craddock

below mountain summit high where lies noble birthright
their own home castle wrapped in poison darkest night
two brothers fought their fatal deadliest mortal fight
in the valley shadow where neither may again see light?

both brothers vain to vain to seek her heart's inclining
sought to kill competition draw sword let that decide
wild desperate grows vile combat hear a death knell wait
clashing strokes like thunder fly see a shadow sinister fate?

yet none cried warning stop beware ye savage warriors
evil powers like a satanic hunger prowl this cursed night
woe is a blood curse you sow ye stupid bloody brothers?

woe thy sow in anger hate into a peaceful ancestral valley
thus is struck by each other's sweat swords tiring expiring
a heart stopping deadly blow sink brothers stark pale dead?
