A soldier's farewell

This is a poem on a soldier's death.

A SOLDIER’S DEATH

 

Sleep O’ mighty soldier, the almighty calls,

Rest in peace O’ brave one, thy shadow falls.

Thy warfare o’er, thy cause-liberty,

Now thine fulfilled, thou art bound to felicity.

Thou art free from this spell-bound land,

We pay our price for sins, our lives’ errand.

Thou have served thy kingdom well, job well done,

So thou shalt not be woe-be-gone.

 

Farewell O’ mighty soldier, attend the almighty’s call,

That’s what thy aim was, above all,

Thou shalt enter a beautiful vale,

And forget thy god-forsaken tale.

And thou shalt re-incarnate as a different man, for thou art,

As unfortunate enough as thy dart

Of slightest fortune to escape this dreadful club-fed,

For the world is round and man is cursed!

Not bad at all! It's effective, and your use of archaic language makes it somewhat unique. I enjoyed it.
