Recent Appearances of the Middle Ages

Purer yet than were the roses
That were brought to the Paladins
Servants of which no one disposes
Preparing banquets, amazing
To Kings and Queens and to Courtiers
Fifty-two slaves of destiny

Fire of the sun which is revealed
By the coldness of its sparking
These blades of gold and silver gilded
Weaves of metal and of wool
A waving banner which has morphed
Into a kitchen rag of hatred full

The deserted streets complete it
The pathways' reality
The skies blaze for that blush a bit
Countenances without destiny
Waiting for approaching time
Of the shade which casts its hand
