Heart's Prayer: A Prayer
           A Song Of The Alalori (Dawn Elwens)
                 As Heard By Zinira Dulak
    Sarastaa, to Thee in pain we turn.
    Thy fire will cause the wound to burn,
    And cauterize, and take the pain away,
    That we might open our eyes on Thy new day.

    Sarastaa, in joy to Thee we turn,
    For never our mortal joy will the True God spurn.
    Thou madest us to dance and sing
    As well as bend under sorrow's ring.

    Sarastaa, in grief to Thee we turn.
    The stars will take the body, but the sunflame burn
    In homage to those who died so wisely and well.
    What comes after we leave to Thee to tell.

    Sarastaa, to Thee in weariness we turn,
    When our long work is done, and we the world spurn.
    Thou offerest shelter and comfort; and the night,
    Which before we spurned, is sweet after light.
