St. Valentine’s Feast
Jahn Sood 12/8/10

On the day of St. Valentine’s feast
There were lilacs pinned to the doors.
And the soldiers came back from the east.
And we washed our swords by the shore.
The board was set,
The beast was slain,
And I looked for my love at the table.
Isabel,
I’ve caught your spell.
You’re my favorite fable.

So I climbed to the top of the mountain,
To the place where we used to play.
I ran through the woods to the fountain,
But it was ivy grown over decay.
So with a swollen chest,
And a fallen crest,
I went back to feast where I came from.
Isabel,
I loved thee well,
But there’s an empty seat in the kingdom.

I watched a hundred brothers die.
Their blood is on my hands,
But through war and peace and other lies,
I’m a stranger in these lands, with out you,
Isabel.

On the day of St. Valentine’s feast,
Some come for the barley wine,
Others come for the roast beast.
But some come to know the divine.
She’s my Holy Ghost,
My heavenly host.
I remember when she was mine.
Isabel,
I loved thee well.
Please come give me a sign.
