It had been a while since I was struck by song inspiration, which vexed me, but in the days leading up to the EK Spring Crown\u00a0(in which Sir Culann was fighting for me) I found that my muse decided to come and visit.<\/p>\n

This is a song about three men who have been influential to my SCA experience, Culann Mac Cianain<\/a>, Ian Stewart<\/a>, and Adam Brennan<\/a>. I presented this to Angus before I left and to Culann and Brennan on Saturday night after Crown was done, dinner was had. (We made the semifinals! There was steak! There were people! Yay!)<\/p>\n

Born of a Pembridge campfire at the War of the Roses, I give you the song, which you can hear by clicking the link.<\/span><\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/mbouchard.com\/misc\/MySummerBrothers-May2017-aneleda.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Spoke to me across the sparkling flame
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Asked for songs forged of an ancient fame
\n<\/span>I sang to them, and to my kin,
\n<\/span>as the stars drew closely down
\n<\/span>Who that night would have seen the paths
\n<\/span>That lead to our renown.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

One summer brother came to me
\n<\/span>A strong and comely knight.
\n<\/span>That summer brother promised me
\n<\/span>That beside me he would fight.
\n<\/span>Never was I outside his view,
\n<\/span>Nor lost in melee\u2019s hold
\n<\/span>Careful and watchful, was my shield,
\n<\/span>His presence made me bold! <\/span><\/p>\n

One summer brother came to me
\n<\/span>With warriors at his side
\n<\/span>That summer brother
\n<\/span>Bade me sing, e\u2019re they set out to ride.
\n<\/span>Forty fierce and noble men
\n<\/span>Brought wrath at his commands,
\n<\/span>Yet would soothe my tears and place mulled wine
\n<\/span>Within my hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Spoke to me across the sparkling flame
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Asked for songs forged of an ancient fame
\n<\/span>I sang to them, and to my kin,
\n<\/span>as the stars drew closely down
\n<\/span>Who that night would have seen the paths
\n<\/span>That lead to our renown.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

One summer brother came to me
\n<\/span>So by his King assigned
\n<\/span>That summer brother
\n<\/span>Had given word he\u2019d not leave me behind.
\n<\/span>He brought me light to darkened hall
\n<\/span>The concerns of all he\u2019d quell,
\n<\/span>His vigilant gaze on everything<\/span>
\n<\/span>Assuring all was well.<\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers come to me
\n<\/span>Now Duke, Master, and Knight
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Give me joy and stories fine to write.
\n<\/span>Our lives have changed in many ways
\n<\/span>Since that lazy summer fire
\n<\/span>But like the sparks that fleck the night
\n<\/span>They warm and they inspire.<\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Spoke to me across the sparkling flame
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Asked for songs forged of an ancient fame
\n<\/span>I sang to them, and to my kin,
\n<\/span>as the stars drew closely down
\n<\/span>Who that night would have seen the paths
\n<\/span>That lead to our renown<\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Spoke to me across the sparkling flame
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Asked for songs forged of an ancient fame
\n<\/span>I sang to them, and to my kin,
\n<\/span>as the stars drew closely down
\n<\/span>Who that night would have seen the paths
\n<\/span>That lead to our renown.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

This summer sister loves you all,
\n<\/span>You taught her to serve well.
\n<\/span>This summer sister proudly sings
\n<\/span>And your stories she will tell.
\n<\/span>Seldom we stand as merry band
\n<\/span>For we are rarely free
\n<\/span>But I carry each one of you inside
\n<\/span>With each joy and victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers
\nSpoke to me across the sparkling flame
\nMy summer brothers
\nAsked for songs forged of an ancient fame
\nI sang to them, and to my kin,
\nas the stars drew closely down
\nWho that night would have seen the paths
\nThat lead to our renown.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Spoke to me across the sparkling flame
\n<\/span>My summer brothers
\n<\/span>Will be songs forged of an ancient fame
\n<\/span>Yes my summer brothers
\n<\/span>Will be songs forged of an ancient fame.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
