We love the glow where winter snow
Is piling white and deep
Where Northern lights on frosted night
Keep children from their sleep.

Come out to play, they seem to say,
The hour is rich and bright.
And laughter rings and spins and spins
In children's ears at night.

We are the children of the sky
We laugh and play and dance.
We Windego are full of fun
Come join our magic dance.

With trailing green and red between
And blinding yellow bars
We heed the tune of mellow moon
And dance beneath the stars.

Each little one is running wild
And singing glad refrain!
Let children be where they may see
Those Northern lights again!

by Gordon Moore
The above poem was written by Mr.Gordon Moore, a Cree Indian. He started going blind when he was in elementary school and as a result his formal education stopped at the end of grade three. This remarkable self-educated man, now in the Sudbury Institute for the Blind, has "written" many poems about the James Bay country as he remembers it.
