Ode to Endewearde

Words and Music ©2004 by Monique M Bouchard, known in the Society as Aneleda Cytheria Falkonbridge .

Oh Endeweard, oh Endewearde
the Star of the East,
your folk so fair,
your lands divine,
you bid us join your feast.

For your great rivers running wide
as the mighty ocean tends the tide
where in peace and joy men lived and died
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus

What massive trees, how wide and strong,
shelt’ring man and beast who come along
we honor them in reverent song
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus

Your mountains rise up to great height
while endless stars give light to night
as the moon reflects in your waters bright
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus

The morning sun lights first our fields
what wonders the wheat and barley yields
before your bounty each one kneels
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus

The folk of our land are brave and wise
filled each with the vrtues all men prize
we take them in with wonderous eyes
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus

Though far from you I may have flown
with wanderlust to which all youth are prone
Now that I returned, I never need roam
oh Endewearde my home.

Chorus
