Where Have All The Meadhalls Gone?


Taliesin Wordweaver            


(Filk of Pete Seeger's Where Have All The Flowers Gone)

Where have all the tankards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the tankards gone?
Long time ago...
Where have all the tankards gone?
Thralls have drunk them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn.

Where have all the young thralls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young thralls gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young thralls gone?
Fled the meadhalls, every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn.

Where have all the meadhalls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the meadhalls gone?
Long time ago
Gone to dragons, every one.
Why did they ever burn?
Why did they ever burn.

Where have all the dragons gone?
Long wings passing
Wherehave all the dragons gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the dragons gone?
Warriors slew them, every one
When will the ever learn?
When will they ever learn.

Where have all the warriors gone?
Long ships sailing
Where have all the warriors gone?
Long ships arrive
Where have the warriors gone?
Gone to England, every one
When will they return?
When will they return.

Where have all the greybeards gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the greybeards gone?
Fires burn low.
Where have all the greybeards gone,
Gone to Valhalla, every one.
One day they will return,
One day they will return.
