"A Song of the Race" (poem) by Robert E. Howard (1969)

Originally appeared in Bran Mak Morn, 1969.

Plot: Bran Mak Morn summons a servant girl to sing him a song of his race, The Picts. She gives a brief history from Atlantis to Bran's time, saying the Picts were the first race and they will be the last.

Monsters:

None.

History: Another chance for Howard to feel "... a strange interest in the term and the people [Picts], and ...a driving absorption regarding them." [Introduction to The Worms of the Earth]. He relates some part of this history in every Bran Mak Morn story.
