Analysis of Pledge
Charles F Blanchard 1952 (Springfield, MA)
When a Knight swears
his heart to bare
his soul and sword too
no matter what or where
he always remains true.
Once its made
absence or presence
plenty or abstinence
he will all endure.
Thru time he will
to his heart true remain
for his pledge, his vow
is meant forever and again and again.
