~Gorean Sunrise~






Awake ! The triple moons have kissed
farewell to Thassa’s shore
and rising from the eastern mist
is mighty Tor-Tu-Gor

Awake ! The slanting shafts of light
defeat the foggy haze
to kiss the dewdrops of the night
and set the hills ablaze

Awake ! The star slaves now have fled
to cosmos’s gruel and rest
kenneled at their Master’s bed
in splendored silver nest

Awake ! Kassar, Lar-Torvis gleams
his orb on ta-grape shines
set thralls to tilling in the fields
and tending of the vines

Awake ! The grains of time are gone
the sand clock starts anew
the house slave strikes the morning gong
the time of rest is through

Awake ! Yon Warriors, slaves and Free
and council not ye lot
for it ye lives Gorean be
go forth and question not

Sartor
