Song of the Last Iaranori
Space is wide
And long have I ridden
The paths of the Scattered Worlds
Have seen with pride
Sights long forbidden
The Golden Throne and more.
I have trod
The soil of Qree
And sacred Avethell
Felt the sod
Of Kao Li
And seen the stars from Dorasc.
But now I feel
Deep in my joints
A longing for my home
My ship's keel
Soon will point
To fair Ismallia.
I have found
No world as fair
As that which birthed my race
Homeward bound
Give up all care
So I long to be.
I am old
And I have fought
The fight to save our worlds
Have been bold
And e'er my thought
Dwells on Ismallia.
I soon will go
To that bless'd land
There to age and die
At last to know
The ocean's sand
And Ismall's azure sky.
