Place of Refuge Nicola Swart (2024)
A dull and distant din of drums
That softly sound about the wall
Announce that night no longer holds
Its sway; but yields to light of gold

The sun in splendour swiftly springs
Above the bleak and barren land
Its rays reveal the rich renown
beneath the light of morning’s crown

Then open wide the gallant gate
And hark! The herald winds his horn
The high and wholesome notes are heard.
When dawning’s light is dimly stirred
A place of refuge is that burg
With towers, turrets, strong and straight
That fortress ne’er to foe did fall
Nor wavering failed its weathered wall

The banner bearing brightest blue
And golden gage from tower flew;
Its hall remembers countless years
Of fire, rain, of joys and tears

At closing of the cloudless day
The night again resumed its sway
The gate is shut to guard ‘gainst foe
Till dawn’s fair light again doth glow

Nicola Swart
