The Archer

for dVerse

Trumpets sound in the morning air

The field is laid so deadly green

Noble knights roaming everywhere

But I only watch the archers

Will he come? Again the trumpets blare

My small favor for the winner

And a gold arrow if he dare

So I only watch the archers

The sun climbs high above my chair

On the green brave knights fight and bleed

The rowdy crowd cheers their warfare

Yet I only watch the archers

At last! See how the archers fare

They shoot arrow after arrow

But no sign of bold Robin there

And I only watch the archers

The crowd shouts, the winner declare

He smiles to receive his prize

They catch Robin Hood in their snare

Yet I only watch the archer

My heart is drowning in despair

But his men spring from every side

Fighting till they flee elsewhere 

Still I only watch the archer
