Processional

Sing, O harper, the anger of Donovan buigh,

That graced us all with boundless grief,

And left brave men a prey to dogs and kites

As we foresaw upon that fateful day

When Donovan buigh and Those of Name

First fell out.

When his wrath at first arose ’twas I he fixed it on.

Oh, yes. ’Twas I who hauled him from his happiness

Off those same Jehovan streets where once he walked,

And had he not his eye upon more distant joys affixed,

We’d twain lie dead in those same gutters, gutted

By each other’s skills. But he foreknew, and so forbore to fight

And did submit him to my plea. But know this now, O harper.

It was to thee that he was bound when I untimely snatched him up.

Attend my tale and learn

Why once great cities burn.
