I stood upon the walls,
And I watched ride away.
The sun gleamed on your helm,
The wind blew on your face.

I stood upon the walls
Not wanting to see you go.
The men all rode around you.
The standards blew in the wind.

I stood upon the walls
And watched for you all night.
A shadow grew in my heart;
You did not come with morning's light.

I stood upon the walls
And watched your uncle bring you in.
They say the enemy struck you down,
And for you did the people weep.

I stood beside your bed
Watching you toss and turn.
Tears were on my face
As I watched the fever rage and burn.

I stood upon the walls
Hidden from your sight.
I watched you look toward the east,
Squinting against the bright sunlight.

I stood upon the walls,
Watching you walk to and fro.
And in my silent watch,
I saw the Warden bring her to you.

You stood upon the walls,
And my heart began to cry:
You spoke words of love to her,
You kissed her under the sunlit sky.

I stand upon the walls,
My tears falling to the ground.
My heart aches for what I lost
And it is glad for what you found.
