Waxwing waxwing what do you bring

From the frozen North

Waxwing waxwing we've been waiting on you

I bring the amber that I have gathered

On the northern seashore

For the hatchlings I have fathered for thee

I've been underground where wyverns are bound

And where gold and jewels are found

These I hoarded under my barry-brown wing

We have no need no need of your amber

Likewise your gold and your jewels

There is no true beauty in things of no use

Waxwing waxwing my only asking

Tether the braces so cruel

Keep my young well-feathered and their bellies full

Waxwing waxwing what will you do

When your days of fathering are through

When at last grim Death comes a'knocking on you

I can do nothing but fly in the wake of my kin

I will soar onward undaunted and die on the wing

I'll die in the canyon of echoes you'll still hear me sing

And still I will give to you all the things I bring
