Summary: an invocation

Oh tell the tale, record the deed,
make songs of there I was
History and narrative,
humor, praise and stern rebuke
To those deserving same

Oh Tell the tale of what went right
And more of what went wrong
Recite the epic effort
Of winning word-fame anyway
Or losing with great verve

We are a people made of words
Of names and bynames apt
Of riddle, honor and pride
Mukkin’ Great Clubbe, Gawd Awful Grail
Our History held in trust

By Word and Book create the world
Of crowns and lands and time
Things ancient and honorable
Joys bright and young and newly made
Maintained in hearts and hands

Oh tell the tale, the fallen grieve
The populace exhort
In songs and scrolls and stories
At fire pits or kingdom court
The Knowne World to invoke

This is lovely! I especially like this part:
"Things ancient and honorable
Joys bright and young and newly made
Maintained in hearts and hands"
