#SONG The Fall of Haven

put recite this Dirge is entitled "The Fall of 'Haven"; ;it concerns the events that took place in the year 375
pause 9 seconds
put sing confidently I'll tell no name, nor even Guild;of those that died, came back, got healed;and fought again those foes of might;who's claim was 'Haven as their right
pause 13 second
put sing confidently All summer long had invaders come;Militia and Orders had fought, had won;Grishnok, Jourak and the rest;had tried and failed, now came the test
pause 13 seconds
put sing sadly Ah, 'Haven's unsuspecting folk;who's fate was sealed as they awoke;for whilst the cry was "here's the war";they'd face a foe not seen before
pause 13 seconds
put sing angrily Three desert "brothers", they had planned;an army, full of outcasts manned;and baricades sealing street and gate;before 'Haven knew... it was to late
pause 13 seconds
put sing angrily mages, archers, halberdiers;they came in ranks, they came in tiers;not just some! not just a few!;and when they came.. they stood, they slew
pause 13 seconds
put sing angrily No time to blink, no time to run;as swift as thought folk were undone;but some still plotted against this fate;invisible draggers, a well placed gate
pause 13 seconds
put sing angrily but baricades grew tighter still;their grip on 'Haven seemed unreal;folk sat waiting out their dooms;shuttered up in some few rooms
pause 13 seconds
put sing sadly Then to a boat were some folk lead;the outcasts dragged out all the dead;but some folk stayed to play a part;to them we bow, those brave of heart
pause 13 seconds
put sing angrily But we'll go back when time is right;we'll take victory, our's is the right;so suffer not for what's gone wrong;next time I'll sing the victors song !!

Intuition is the art, peculiar to the human mind, of working out the correct answer from data that is, in itself, incomplete or even, perhaps, misleading.
