For comes my brother distant, For comes by savior soon. I stand here most insistent, I will receive my boon. Fellow soldier, hold thy voice, hold it if you may. Fallow shoulders show my choice, I am in your sway. For know my crime was cruel, And all my pain deserved. I stand here as a fool, Despite my brother served. Mother dearest, look away, look into the sun. Other's nearest, gone astray, you will be undone. For no more will I prattle, And no more will I pray. Hear you must the rattle, As life will fly away.
