I just started reading Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott and this is a poem I wrote about the Norman invasions into England.
"The Saxon Cry"
O'er the sundering seas
And out in the stormy gales,
A strong southern breeze
Revealed the Norman sails.
In memory we see them
Conquer cities, conquer kingdoms,
And we raise our voice to heaven
For the country they have mangled.
But the skies are dark and clouded
And we see no healing hand
For our freedom is enshrouded
By the invaders of our land.
And they think that we are theirs
For they now own our every kingdom
But we don't forget those years,
And no one can conquer England!

Ivanhoe is an awesome book. I haven't read it in a while though. How do you like it?
