Sojourn Here from Sosruko's Trilogy by Sosruko

And when we land this boat
On that far shore
Let them welcome and smile upon him
Their bodies young again yet wise with years
O let them forgive us our long blindness
And heal the shattered bonds of this catastrophe
O I long to hear their voices sing to me

Sojourn here, Sosruko
Eat of our fruits and partake of our games
Your time with us is short and the hour of your sad departure near

Then let me show my worth in the palaestra
Let me take my place in the House of Song
O I've heard echoes of it float through the mist
O let me join the dance and field in the slips
I long to hear the roar of the affirming voices
Of the million years' struggle and overcoming

Sojourn here, Sosruko
Here where the freshness of the morning remains through the day
Your time with us is short and the hour of your sad departure near

Sojourn here, Sosruko
Your time with us was short now that the hour of your sad departure's here
