A/N: This is part of the script in a a play called "Thor Triumphant" and the part that you are going to read below is "The song of the Valkyries". The 4th graders at my moms school performed this and I thought it would be neat to share, so enjoy!

More briliant than lightning

Sky-shaking and frightening

Defiant and delighting, in war and in strife

We are valkyries! We are valkyries!

When sharp spears are flying

When cowards cringe, crying

When heroes lay dying, for us that is life

We are Valkyries! We are Valkyries!

Sisters from the battlefeild, we've harvested a mighty yield

Oh how the blood flowed on this day

From men who live to smite and slay

Their scrams and moans, their yelps and fears, were music to my Aesir ears

But the bravest of them all we will carry up to Odens hall

We are Valkyries! We are Valkyries

Lovely rhythm to it, I bet the kids enjoyed doing it. Did they do the whole play, or just this section?

They did the whole play! This

Just checking that you were the person who wrote the play Chessnut...

Haha no I didn't write it.

Thanks for letting me know Chessnut. In that case, you need to make it very clear who the author is in the introductory paragraph - otherwise it looks as if you're passing off someone else's work as your own!
