Weep not, Zijädho
For the worlds will weep for you
Fear not, Zijädho
For the suns will fear for you

Ten arms are more than enough
To hold all blessed joy
Yet ten arms are not enough
To hold sorrow that destroys

Sing serenely, Vdhuneta
Embryonic Queen
Mother and Father will strike the wolf
Lest his teeth and claws be seen
