Dragon poems

Honor those the dragons heed
In thought and favor, word and deed.
Worlds are lost or worlds are saved
From the dangers dragon-braved.

Dragonmen, avoid excess:
Greed will bring the Weyr distress:
To ancient Law adhere,
Prospers thus the Dragonweyr.

Black,Blacker,Blackest
And cold Beyond frozen things.
Where is between when naught
To life but fragile dragons' wings?

Oh, Tongue, give sound to joy and sing
Of hope and promise on dragonwing.

Dragonmen,Dragonmen,
Between thee and thine,
Share me the glimpse of love
Greater than mine.

From Anne McCaffrey's Dragonsong.
