Clarion




On a path long forgotten,
even veritably unknown,
an ancient horn besotten
with its bed much now o’ergrown

Eons and epochs betrodden,
yet with time and grass resewn
now unearthed and new-gotten
awaiting its first intone

An oliphant, thought rotten
 (no more a lowly cow-bone)
yields thunder once forgotten
since great Roland did atone.
