In Memory of Una Brau
By: Mardosi Posted on: January 16, 2009
The death of Ty Beirdd's Tutor, Una Brau, left the entire House in shock. These
two poems are written to honour her memory, and may Lord Thoth keep her soul
safe.
The Night the Garden Fell
The night the Garden fell
To Hrakken's violent screams
We bade Una Farewell
No way we could foretell
Not even in our dreams
The night the Garden fell
His pain we could not quell
There was no end it seems
We bade Una Farewell
It was a living hell
For those trapped beneath the beams
The night the garden fell
Now things are doing well
And Riordan's joined the team
We bade Una Farewell
And in this villanelle
Their memory reigns supreme
The night the Garden fell
We bade Una farewell
Ode to Una
I remember when I first met you
And you said you had much work to do
And I thought, 'Well I can't be that bad'
When of course, my condition was really sad
Though we'd joke at your silly name
We always knew we had you to blame
For the lessons we learned over many years
Your death has shed us many tears
A toast to you, dear Una Brau
Our tutor for so long
Yes Una, we do know 'twas you
That kept us going strong
Just so you know, the day you died
That old sap Sam sure weeped and cried
The Manor fell, and the Garden too
But we all managed to survive
Dear Una Brau, you taught us well
I learned everything from you, and hell
Riordan's great but he can't come a mile
To your speed, variety and style
A toast to you, dear Una Brau
Wherever you may be
We'll sing of you for ages yet
With joy and reverie
