A BRAVE KNIGHT'S TALE

OH!BRAVE KNIGHT

YOU FIGHT DAY AND NIGHT,

YOU DO YOUR BEST

BUT GET NO REST.

YOU FIGHT YOUR FOE

WITH YOUR ARROW AND BOW;

YOU ALSO FIGHT WITH YOUR SWORD

WHICH IS LONG LIKE A BITTER-GOURD.

YOU ARE SO BRAVE

AND YOU SOMETIMES DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE

FOR THE COUNTRY'S SAKE.

BUT YOUR FAMILY CAN'T TAKE;

THE SHOCKING SAD NEWS,

AND YOUR MOTHER'S TEARS SHATTER LIKE THE DROPLETS OF DEW,

YOUR WIFE FAINTS

AND YOUR INNOCENT CHILD STILL PAINTS,

THE LOVELY PICTURE OF YOU.

YOUR WIFE JOINS YOU

AND YOUR MOTHER IS BITTERLY CRYING

AND YOUR INNOCENT CHILD IS STILL PAINTING!!!
