Read together
In days of old, a siege did come
A time of trouble, for everyone
A revolution was underway
But it brought disaster, every day
The people endured, they did not flee
For in their hearts, they knew the key
Their precious land, they would defend
Their characteristic courage, did not bend
They fought with all their might and main
And in the end, they did maintain
Their freedom and their way of life
They showed that in disaster, they could thrive
So let us all remember well
The story of the siege we tell
And let it be a lesson sure
That we can endure and even more.
Talk about it
