Gilbert's Greatsword (Elegy) Filk

Written and performed at Baycon 2006. Another version was performed, can't remember who did it.


For Leigh Ann

Brave and Bold, she went a riding
Bright and Strong, sh rode to cache
Long will her Beloveds be waiting;

Leigh Ann Hussey Rides no more.

Forth she fared without foreboding,
with her passion to do more.
Now she rides to sup with Gaea,

Motogrrl will cache no more.

Sing songs of love and life and lust, too
Liberal libations pour.
Keep her art and make her proud,

Siobhan N'Eodhusa sings no more.

Stories and Knowledge takes she fairing;
her memory is at our mind's door;
Bright the memories we are bearing--

LAH will write no more.

She did all arts with her passion,
Achieved, revelled and did some more.
We are of the Gods in separate fashions--

Leigh Ann is with us evermore!


JRS for Leigh Ann Hussey.

Thank you -- I wanted the words

Wander/Jennifer also did one.

Unfortunately, nithaus is still battling with the ISP and is still down.

Wander's was better. Mine is more my take. It'll do fine here until nithaus gets back.

Hug,
