Beloved if you read this
\nthen know that I am gone.
\nOur foe has overtaken all our lands.
\nBeloved if you read this
\nthen I have burnt our home
\nand slaughtered all our cattle
\nto keep it from from their hands.<\/p>\n

Pray for me beloved, say an ‘ave’ for your wife
\nwho beside the home we made, soon will take her life.
\nThey will never touch me – I would rather die
\nthan suffer their indignities or with their demands comply.<\/p>\n

Beloved if you read this
\ndrink not from the stream
\nfor I buried rotting livestock at its source.
\nBeloved if you read this
\nThat our adversaries starve
\nI spread lye throughout our barley,
\nand salt’d the lands without remorse.<\/p>\n

Beloved if you read this
\nknow the blood upon the page
\nwas the last thing our enemy did see.
\nBeloved if you read this
\ntake my good account
\nfor I took many from their bodies –
\nthey did not take mine from me.<\/p>\n

Pray for me beloved, say an ‘ave’ for your wife
\nwho beside the home we made, soon will take her life.
\nThey will never touch me – I would rather die
\nthan suffer their indignities or with their demands comply.<\/p>\n

Beloved if you read this
\nwe shall be together soon
\nfor I have smelled the burning since I woke
\nBeloved if you read this
\nknow my soul waits for you here
\nGod grant someday we be together –
\nHis blessing I invoke.<\/p>\n

Pray for me beloved, say an ‘ave’ for your wife
\nwho beside the home we made, soon will take her life.
\nThey will never touch me – I would rather die
\nthan suffer their indignities or with their demands comply.<\/p>\n

Pray for me beloved,
\nsay an ‘ave’ for your wife
\nwho beside the home we made
\nsoon will take her…..<\/p>\n

So, now that I have their blessing, this song is dedicated to Dalla and Olaf – <\/span>Suzy McBroom<\/a> and <\/span>Samuel McBroom<\/a>) because it was them with a little Viking farm which I pictured a lot as I wrote this, with Dalla thinking of Olaf as she spread the salt and<\/span><\/span> dragged dead livestock to the spring. <\/span>

In particular, this photo kept coming to mind as her memories as she did all these things and wrote the letter<\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00a0:<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
