Story of a lonely soldier.

Thou Shall Weep No More

Hated art thy beloved,
Loved art those denied,
Marched unto they perished,
Bestowed power of anguished.

Yonder is thy blue meadow,
Ambler there with thy dim shadow,
Banter those who are not thorough,
Conquer those who are not mellow.

Amain freely towards thy nest,
Remain unto thou regain the best,
Restrain not thy feelings of jest,
Vain not a moment, this is thy rest.

Glossary:
unto - until
yonder - that over there
ambler - walk slowly
amain - at full speed, with great haste - I have actually exploited its meaning. I used this word to say "make haste"
