Index poe0009 Genre Poetry Author Desmond Tarrant Date 23.08.01 Title ‘The Avengers’ The Avengers So now the valiant Lanc is put to rest Along with hosts of just as valiant young Their days and nights were spent horrendously To give the gift of freedom to us all. Ne’er let this gift be squandered by evil’s Greedy grasp which spends their high-heaped coinage In wrongful ways, so many to betray. For then these brave avengers, the flower Would grieve forever with their hearts so bold. The inheritance their sacrifices Left us is precious far beyond our gold Forget not the deeds they did beneath the Brilliant moon as the shining sword struck home. They helped gain hard won victory at last Our future now much better than our past.
