Brian Jacques Quote

Let me wander here forever, through the gladeswhere once I played,Long ago in carefree seasons, mid the noontidesun and shade.I will see again before me, all those smilingfriends I knew,gone alas to memory's keeping, faithful comradesgood and true.Oh, those days of youth and splendour, when wedreamed of glorious war,vows were made to keep forever, and return backhere once more.Then the clouds began to gather, winter came,we marched away,singing songs of love and valour, off we wentinto the fray.Comes a warrior returning, to autumn's gold-clad trees,where the leaves do fall like teardrops, on thegently sighing breeze.Casting sword and shield aside now, I standweary and forlorn,In the silence of the woodlands, I will restuntil the dawn.Let me sleep and dream forever, of the goldendays of yore,and those friends who marched off with me,who'll return alas no more.
