//------------------------------// // II // Story: In Memoriam R.D. // by Bulbasaur //------------------------------// Old oak in which I used to live, A gnarled, old, but simple thing, To ashes quickly flames did bring -- Lord Tirek I can ne'er forgive. I walk along the empty road Whereon my former home did lie. I see the charr'd remains and sigh, Rememb'ring hearth and home of old; And as my life around me burns Again, I've not a solace blue, No featherbrain, no cockatoo, No one to hold me as I yearn Or claim this is a dream absurd, No one to comfort all my fears, No one to whisper in my ears, "This too shall pass; be reassur'd."
