| Waxwing, waxwing, what do you bring | |
| From the frozen North? | |
| Waxwing, waxwing, we've been waiting on you. | |
| I bring the amber that I have gathered | |
| On the northern seashore. | |
| For the hatchlings I have fathered for thee. | |
| I've been underground where wyverns are bound | |
| And where gold and jewels are found, | |
| These I hoarded under my barry-brown wing. | |
| We have no need, no need of your amber, | |
| Likewise your gold and your jewels-- | |
| There is no true beauty in things of no use. | |
| Waxwing, waxwing, my only asking: | |
| Tether the braces so cruel. | |
| Keep my young well-feathered and their bellies full. | |
| And waxwing, waxwing, what will you do, | |
| When your days of fathering are through, | |
| When at last grim Death comes a'knocking on you? | |
| I can do nothing but fly in the wake of my kin. | |
| I will soar onward undaunted and die on the wing. | |
| I'll die in the canyon of echoes; you'll still hear me sing, | |
| And still I will give to you all the things I bring. |
