Solbourne

An angel folds her wings

So falls into the dawn

To give her glowing to the day

Give all the stars to the sun

Who comes up like bright victory

Not stolen from the sky but won

Gloriously heralded
Night's dark spells undone
Luminous aurora shines
Cold shadows on the run
Endless cycles start again
In warmth and light begun
A sailing moon in rosy clouds
This day won't be outrun
