Day of darkness and gloom.
Day of cloud and blackness.
The end does loom.
Is there time for forgiveness.

This Saxon King.
Did he ever think he would be the last.
With him it is broken , the dynasty’s ring.
And the beginning of a long English fast.

With Edward came the end of his line.
He might be considered a failure.
Yet of all kings the Confessor is a noble sign.
So we ask what really is failure.

So we may think we fail.
But others may yet tell our tale.

…….

Did Edward fail
As the king he surely did
Not as Confessor
