My Captain

We were in a Resurrection Battle
amongst the shade and bales of hay
I saw my Fret Knot Captain go down
to his knee with a spear to his chest.
when the Marshal called hold.
He was out there alone and legged
I could not let my Captain lay
between the walls of shields alone.
I gave my shield and my life,
that my Fret Knot Captain be spared.
