When Orion Climbs
Inspired by the words, rather than the sentiment of William Blake’s “And did those feet in ancient times (Jerusalem)”. I’m not a gratuitous warmonger. Honest.
When Orion climbs his shout doth orders mete; Bring me my sword and scabbard! In battle my enemy they shall meet and in victory be sheathed.
When Orion shines his shout doth orders mete; Bring me my bow and quiver! In battle I shall nock and loose their ranks will thin and wither.
When Orion rises his shout doth orders mete; Bring me my club to swing! In battle be swathed amidst my foe will havoc wreak and terror sow.
