V. Verses for the Four Odes on the Afterfeast of Malfaloth

Four verses.

In that day, when Spring awakens,

Then the Lady Clad in Silver,

Fair Onmanda, world’s first mother,

Will the fallen polestar banish

To the lightless, deep abysses.

To the deep and dark abysses

Will the song of fair Onmanda

Banish all the hate of Vishnarr,

All the monster of his malice

Spawned amid the mists enchanted.

Then the world approached by beauty—

All the countries Under Starlight

And the peoples therein dwelling—

Raise their voices to the Heavens,

Sing the Song which made creation.

That fair Song which all the Stars sang

At the making of the Heavens

And the founding of the Waters

Shall have been but the beginning

Of the Song of Nankeinela.
