    <strong>The Black Tower</strong>

    SAY that the men of the old black tower,

    Though they but feed as the goatherd feeds,

    Their money spent, their wine gone sour,

    Laothing that a soldier needs,

    That all are oath-bound men:

    Those banners e not in.

    There iomb stand the dead upright,

    But winds e up from the shore:

    They ></a>shake when the winds roar,

    Old bones upon the mountain shake.

    Those banners e to bribe or threaten,

    Or whisper that a mans a fool

    Who, when his ht kings fotten,

    Cares what kis up his rule.

    If he die></a>d long ago

    Why do you dread us so?

    There iomb drops the faint moonlight,

    But wind es up from the shore:

    They shake when the winds ro>藏书网</a>ar,

    Old bones upon the mountain shake.

    The towers old cook that must climb and clamber

    Catg small birds in the dew of the morn

    When we hale meretched in slumber

    Swears that he hears the kings gr<dfn></df horn.

    But hes a lying hound:

    Stand we on guard oath-bound!

    There iomb the dark grows blacker,

    But wind es up from藏书网 the shore:

    They shake when the winds roar,

    Old bones upon the mountain shake.
