Here Is the Poem

I. 

Red glows the forge in Striguil's bounds,
And hammers din, and anvil sounds,

And armourers, with iron toil,
Barb many a steed for battle's broil,

Foul fall the hand which bends the steel
Around the courser's thundering heel,

That e'er shall dint a sable wound
On fair Glamorgan's velvet ground!

II.

From Chepstow's towers, ere dawn of morn,
Was heard afar the bugle-horn;

And forth, in banded pomp and pride,
Stout Clare and fiery Neville ride,

They swore, their banners broad should gleam,
In crimson light, on Rymny's stream;

They vowed, Caerphili's sod should feel
The Norman charger's spurning heel.

III.

And sooth they swore - the sun arose,
And Rymny's wave with crimson glows;

For Clare's red banner, floating wide,
Roll'd down the stream to Severn's tide!

And sooth they vow'd - the trampled green
Show'd where hot Neville's charge had been:

In every sable hoof-tramp stood
A Norman horseman's curdling blood!

IV.

Old Chepstow's brides may curse the toil,
That arm'd stout Clare for Cambrian broil;

Their orphans long the art may rue,
For Neville's war-horse forged the shoe.

No more the stamp of armed steed
Shall dint Glamorgan's velvet mead;

Nor trace be there, in early spring,
Save of the Fairies' emerald ring.
