Midean's Ford is a song of Manetheren before the Trolloc Wars that Asmodean sang while in the Waste. It tells of how Aedomon had led an attack on Manetheren and Buiryn's courage at Midean's Ford had impressed him so much he had retreated. Mat remembers that in reality, Buiryn was betrayed.
Soft, the winds, like springtime's finger.
Soft, the rains, like Heaven's tears.
Soft, the years roll by in gladness,
never hinting storms to come,
never hinting whirlwinds' ravage,
rain of steel and battle thunder,
war to tear the heart asunder.
Back across the blood-red water,
marching back with heads held high.
No surrender, arm or sword,
no surrender, heart or soul.
Honor be theirs, ever after,
honor all the Age shall know.
(Reference: The Shadow Rising, Chapter 37)
