"Let me wander here forever, through the glades where once I played, Long ago in carefree seasons, mil the noontide sun and shade. I will see again before me, all those smiling friends I knew, gone alas to memory's keeping, faithful comrades good and true. Oh, those days of youth and splendour, when we dreamed of glorious war, vows were made to keep forever, and return back here once more. Then the clouds began to gather, winter came, we wenr into the fray. Comes the warrior returning, to old autumn's gold-clad trees, where the leaves do fall like teardrops, on he gently sighing breeze. Casting sword and shield aside now, I stand weary and forlorn, in the silence of the woodlands, I will rest until the dawn. Let me sleep and dream forever, of the golden days of yore, and those friends who marched off with me, who'll returnalas no more."- From the book "Eulalia!"
