The Raven and the Rose

Birka hymn
Below the mountain hard and high
Beyond the Black Earth's secrets deep
In the Homelands the sleepers sleep

A thousand times 'neath blankets white
A thousand Summer's unfelt breeze
A whispered sigh to stir the trees

Old eyes seek beyond the shore
Across the sea, the distant fell
To where the man-ghost children dwell

Old hearts weep, waiting still
But should a million candles need to burn
Then burn they shall, they will return
