What noble steeds are these here,
draped in crimson and clad in trillium
flowers?
From northern lands they endear
and show our majestic powers
draped in crimson and clad in trillium
flowers.
Written
to commemorate the kingdom barding used by TRH’s Nigel and Adrielle at Gulf
Wars 2016. Written as a lira which was a shortened variation of the canción and
was invented by Garcilaso de la Vega (c. 1501 – 1536). The most popular
form of the lira is a quintain stanza where the second line repeats in line
five and has a rhyme scheme of aBabB. The lines had either seven or eleven
syllables.
