Waxwing, waxwing, what do you bring | |
From the frozen North? | |
Waxwing, waxwing, we've been waiting on you. | |
I bring the amber that I have gathered | |
On the northern seashore. | |
For the hatchlings I have fathered for thee. | |
I've been underground where wyverns are bound | |
And where gold and jewels are found, | |
These I hoarded under my barry-brown wing. | |
We have no need, no need of your amber, | |
Likewise your gold and your jewels-- | |
There is no true beauty in things of no use. | |
Waxwing, waxwing, my only asking: | |
Tether the braces so cruel. | |
Keep my young well-feathered and their bellies full. | |
And waxwing, waxwing, what will you do, | |
When your days of fathering are through, | |
When at last grim Death comes a'knocking on you? | |
I can do nothing but fly in the wake of my kin. | |
I will soar onward undaunted and die on the wing. | |
I'll die in the canyon of echoes; you'll still hear me sing, | |
And still I will give to you all the things I bring. |
