the rider

from Wind of change by Boris Yermolovich

lyrics

he rider

Square in old city
And rider on it
Thin horse is pity
Not little bit

He looks at somewhere at far away
All night and also all day

He wait for dangers,
It happens someday
Maybe some strangers
That go astray

He has no army for a long time
He is alone against crime

Now in the saddle as always
On the same place, made of bronze
Guarding this town watchful all days
He's a good guard without cons

This brilliant knight has
a real royal blood
Look of his eyes is
austere and proud

Hat with the feather, dressing the wig
Steel sword , that he holds, is big

He did not sleep for more
than one cold night
But a sense of duty
made him a knight

He's very focused and ready to fight
It's foes, he did not invite

But no one comes to his city
No one, who wants to abuse
Probably foes are too chitty
Maybe, it's military ruse

We cannot see tower's steeple
It's moonless night and thick fog
You can sleep well, townspeople
He can see even the frog

The old town sleeps very soundly
Calm rider stands at his post
Ready to fight the foes roundly
On the same thin skinny horse
With the same long sword of course
Enemies know about his youthful force

His hat got a little greener
And his boots covered with moss
He will always be a winner
They always be with a loss

Who knows is he real person
Or he's an invented man
But my granddaughter and her son
Will see him there where he stand
