The Song of the Stars





Another product of tour recent blackout. From the Algonkian, as collected on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, by Charles G. Leland in 1882. Freely recast.

We are the stars that sing;
We sing the light;
We are the birds of fire;
Circling above the night.
Hear our silence roar;
We blaze a path for the soul
Who must and who will soar.
Among us the almighty three
Who battle the terrible beast;
There was no time
We were not; let all else but us cease.
We look down upon mountains.
This is the Song of the Stars.

-- Stephen K. Roney
