Never Cry My Children
Never cry my children, never cry...
Dear little children, innocent and pure.
We are faithful to the darkness, of
the luring sides,
Not lost yet, just drawn to absence
Of Eternal Lights!
*
We have traveled many mountains,
many rivers too,
And every time I find a home so dear,
It's always time to shed another tear.
*
Covering your velvet faces
With a glowing innocence,
We still wander like the sparrows
On five continents.
*
My heart is struck, burning with love,
Your voices like bells trilling above,
Oh, my sweet children like the Angels,
From the bright abyss,
If the Great Master will give me power
in the coming spring,
You can make your home
under my wing.
