The Last Whale

[Seven Sisters]

The Last Whale


The last whale sang her graceful song
                      in the mists of the Great and Deep
It echoed through the sea of stars whilst the world was still asleep
It floated and it drifted; it echoed through the night
And as the last whale faded, this lullaby she cried:

"Oh Children of the Earth, why now do you weep
Mother has grown tired for the world is fast asleep
Think now of your brother; think now of your kin
The little ones who climb the trees and through the oceans swim"

"Oh children of the Earth, make you not a peep
Oh the stories missed and lost while the world was fast asleep"

She sang this from the Heavens; sought to bring to Earth
But the Grace, the Love, the Beauty - they lived not passed their birth
And as the last whale faded, with her went this song
For the world was fast asleep -


And had been so for too long
