I’m reluctant to leave my seat by the fire
on the Northern boundary of our Empire
I go to the edge of the wall and look down
seeing the glint of the frost on the ground
the night is so dark, the weather most foul
far in the distance I can hear the wolves howl
or maybe another of the wild beasts
but probably the natives just having a feast
It’s probably just the natives having a feast. I’m taking this to be a Roman soldier posted on Hadrian Wall
