Lyrics but nothing else by Blegvad this time. John Greaves did the twisty music and Blegvad provided anagrammatic and palindromatic lyrics to match.

(Who?)
We who knew no woe
We who were her hero
(When?),
When we were on her knee
When we knew her
When we were one

We won renown
(How?)
We were her worker
We won honor enow
When we knew her
When we were one
Where?
Kew. Rhone.

Laminates a tone of sleep
A tone of sleep
Peel's foe, Not a set animal, laminates a tone of sleep.
