The lord of the castle knows
Only fools campaign in winter
The weather is menace to flesh
A horseman army dislikes snow
The freezing winds also hinder
Movements and cause death
So the lord of the castle sleeps
Knowing he can dream of victory
And the reward of campaigns
Under the summer sun in his keep
His battle plans renowned in history
The season for battle comes with pain
But nothing else brings sleep
Like victory and safely dreaming
Of the future battles
Without the cost
