SONG.
[Through, through and through]
Through, through and through,
Shuttle and thread
Fly, till the silver woof
And warp are wed.
Shuttle and thread
Fly, till the silver woof
And warp are wed.
Through, through and through,
Stars on their way
Weave, till their golden flight
Fades with the day.
Stars on their way
Weave, till their golden flight
Fades with the day.
Through, through and through,
Mortal steps run,
Kiss, interlace, and cross,
Under the sun.
Mortal steps run,
Kiss, interlace, and cross,
Under the sun.

As the web's wove
Apart they fly:
Memory alone and love,
Love cannot die.
Apart they fly:
Memory alone and love,
Love cannot die.
