Ansteorran Bards Who Are With Us In Spirit

I seemed to hear the murmur of a torrent
that, limpid, falls from rock to rock, whose flow
shows the abundance of its mountain source.
Even as sound takes shape at the lute’s neck,
and even as the wind that penetrates
the blow-hole of the bagpipe, so – with no
delay – that murmur of the Eagle rose
straight up, directly through its neck as if
its neck were hollow; and that murmuring
became a voice that issued from its beak,
taking the shape of words desired by
my heart – Dante Alighieri (Paradiso. XX,19-30)

Vivat the Dream

The Knowne World  remembers mid laughter and tears
The Dream we’ve been dreaming for thirty-five years.
And in celebration we gather again
To be certain the Dream comes alive once again!

So sing Vivat the Dream, may it live long
In hearts and in poetry, story, and song.
For all men need a dream as we all can
And each time that we gather, we dream it again.

Oh, chivilary, courtesy, honor, and love
Are ideals that we cherish all others above.
Ideals are afire in the hearts of all men,
And each time that we gather, we live it again.

So sing Vivat the Dream, may it live long,
In hearts, and in poetry, story, and song.
For all men need a dream, as we all can,
And each time that we gather, we dream it again.

Each lord needs a lady to strengthen his arm.
Each lady a lord to keep her from harm.
‘Tis love and the Dream bring togther all men
And each time that we gather, we live again.

So sing Vivat the Dream, may it live long
In hearts and in poetry, stories and song.
For all men need a dream as we all can
And each time that we gather, we dream it again.

The Knowne World remembers, mid laughter and tears
The Dream we’ve been dreaming for thirty-five years.
And in celebration we gather again,
To be certain the Dream comes alive once again.

So sing Vivat the Dream, may it live long.
In hearts and in poetry, stories and song.
For all men need a dream as we all can,
And each time that we gather, we dream it again.

So sing Vivat the Dream, may it live long,
In hearts and in poetry, stories and in song.
For all men need a dream as we all can
And each time that we gather, we dream it again!
