A RAVEN STOLE THE SUN

a raven stole the sun one day
the moon began to mourn
tiny pieces broke away
a thousand stars were born
drummers in the distance
pipers in the dell
a vigil til the sun returns
and all is safe and well

silence in the darkness
frosty winter nights
people lie in fallow fields
to watch the Northern Lights
color in the heavens
stories to be told

gingerbread and brandy
to keep away the cold

a raven stole the sun one day
a dark December morn
people wait they dance and pray
for the first of Capricorn
lanterns in the woodland
branches covered white
shelter in the evergreens
and cheery firelight
