Southward together we fled, a world in chaos
Back north alone you go this clearer day
Journeying to see the old land's hills still green,
Leaving strange country where our hairs fell gray.
By dawning moonlight pa**ing ruined strongholds,
By thronging stars at rest near old frontiers,
Chill birds and withered gra** are everywhere
Companions of the eyes that gaze through tears.
