One day admist the morning light,
Came a most unbelievable sight.
For there in the distance was a ship,
Hugging the coast ever so tight,

Then as the noon hour approached,
You could see small boats
Being lowered so that they could float
Then the boats became ever so close

When they reached the stone washed shore
They unloaded their boats to the beat of the drums
And forward came the shapes of beasts
Such as squirrels, badgers, otters and mice
All that were nice
The beasts had all set out to search for a place
That they could call home

And it came to be
That these beasts would be
The first to see
The begging of April Island
And the first of its seeds

The Many Beautiful Places of Redwall



Over the the tree tops in the hills
Lies Salamandstron solemn and still.
Next is a site to make any vermin groan
The walls of Redwall built high with redstone.
Quite near there is Mossflower wood
Close to where Brockhall stood.
After that is the gousim shrews
Building boats is what they do.
On camp Willow's grassy banks
To sleep is where many otters have sank.
Come to St.Ninians on a nice day
Then with Gonff and Columbine you'll skip and play.
The people at Jadestone could make any baby cry
But there's more to them than meets the eye.
There are many islands in the ocean blue
Counting them would be hard to do.
You can see far off in the sea
An island's thats the place to be.
So come with me my friend
To April island to the bitter sweet end.

The Phantom Rose



I was walking through the forest one day,
and much to my surprise,
I saw a rose.

It's beauty was unmatchable,
the finest of the land,
when much to my dismay,
a squirrel walked up the path.

"This will look fetching in my wife's fur he said,"
and stooped to pick it,
I stepped in front of him,
and raised a paw to stop him.

"If you want this rose,"
I said,
"you must go through me,
I saw it first and shall keep it."

"But don't you know,"
he said,
"I am the greatest warrior of the land,"
and shall win."

He pulled out a staff,
and I followed suit,
we fought for hours,
with no one gaining nor losing.

"Do you give up?"
I said,
after dodging an attack,
He said, "no, I am just getting warmed up."

But,
to my dismay,
when I looked down,
the rose had disappeared.

Streaking through the forest,
never turning to look back,
a lanky hare races toward us
to warn of an attack.
We can see the vermin coming,
snarling, evil things,
we reach out for our weapons
to ward off the death they bring.
Frightened babes and elders,
are lead safely away,
thinking of their children,
who might not live through the day.
As our warriors drive the vermin back
we can see that we will win,
encouraging the fighters ,
and causing an awful din.
We look upon our numbers
now that the battle has been won,
We realize very thankfully
that we have lost none.
