King Edward VI — version 1

Hampton Court

The sword is sheathed its freedom famed
No tyrant can misrule
A child holds fast his foot of power
In life´s grandest school
The sword is sheathed no conquering voice
No words or bombs can stay
Upon this child pope is heard
No threat or sad dismay
Henry´s wars are rumours still
Around the quiet rooms
Where man did love, divorce and die
Where this child was groomed
A Mother dies just as he´s born
A draped cloth marks her life
A child once born and dies so soon
A life so full of strife
