Carts Come Home

Carts Come Home was written by Jennet of Mourn, to commemorate the Marchers lost in the battle for Karsk.

OOC it was written by Daisy, loosely based on the trad tune The Water Is Wide. Recording is here.

The carts come home, the oxen heavy laden With Marcher bones, brought from another nation Our girls come home, in fallow fields they're lying And all alone, I see the farmer crying.

The carts come home, the oxen heavy laden Our orchards grown, will hang heavy in the autumn Our girls come home, in fallow fields they're lying For seeds are sown, where other flowers lie dying
