| Из последней апоездки в Цех Арфистов я привезла несколько старинных текстов баллад. Здесь они в своем оригинальном написании.
[Некоторые баллады были написаны уже после окончания Седьмого Прохождения, но я позволю себе немного отступить от хронологического порядка] | |

| The Golden Egg of Faranth
By the Golden Egg of Faranth, By the Weyrwoman, wise and true, Breed a flight of Bronze and Brown wings, Breed a flight of Green and Blue, Breed riders, strong and daring, Dragon-loving, born as hatched, Flight of hundreds soaring skyward, Man and dragon fuily matched.
By the teaching of the Harpers, Healer, fisherman and smith, From the chambers of the craft-halls, Forge our destiny in myth. Raise a glass in praise of weavers, Give the Lord Holders their due, And in all thing trust the weyrfolk For their cause is just and true. From the distant, burning Red Star, Shining strands of silver Thread – Heed the warning f the Star Stones; Hear the whispers of the dead. Hail the dragons and their riders, Perched on high in lofty weyrs. Watch the skies while Pern lies sleeping; Learn the lessons of the years. | |

| March Of The Wings
Drummer, beat, and piper, blow, Harper, strike, and solder, go. Fee the flame and sear the grasses Till the dawning Red Star passes.
From the Weyr and from the Bowl Bronze and Brown and Blue and Green, Rise the dragonmen of Pern, Aloft, on wing, seen, then unseen.
Dragonman avoid excess Greed with bring the Weyr distress; To the ancient Laws adhere, Prospers thus the Dragon-weyr. | |

| Lessa’s Ride
Black, blacker, blackest, And cold beyond all frozen things. Where is between when there is naught To life but fragile dragon wings?
Cold as death, death-bearing Stay and die, unguided. Brave and braving, linger – This way was twice decided.
A fleck of red in a cold night sky. A drop of blood to guide them by. Turn away, Turn away, Turn be gun. A Red Star leads the riders on.
How shell the last the long journey Lurd on but by this woven star? How can the find that which they seek And make their way home from afar?
What can the say to bring forward The weyrfolk from another time? Is hope merely illusion That clings to life in desperate minds?
Yet promise lives by those of heart – Salvation lies within the song, Revealed by Lessa, Weyrwoman, There will be five weyrs strong! | |

| The Question Song
Gone away, gone ahead, Echoes away, gone unansweréd. Empty, open, dusty, dead. Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?
Where have dragons gone together? Leaving Weyrs to wind and weather? Setting heardbeasts free of tether? Gone, our safeguards, gone, but whither? Have they flown to some new Weyr Where cruel Thread some others fear? Are they worlds away from here? Why, oh, why, the empty Weyr? | |

| Fire Lizard Song
The little queen, all golden Flew at the sea. To keep it back, To turn it back She flew forth bravely.
As she attacked the sea in rage A holderman came nigh Along the sand Fishnet in hand And saw the queen midsky.
He stared at her in wonder For often he'd been told That such as she Could never be Who hovered there, bright gold.
He saw her plight and quickly He looked up the cliff he faced And saw a cave Above the wave In which her eggs he placed.
The little queen all golden Upon his shoulder stood Her eyes all blue Glowed of her true Undying gratitude. | |
