Blue the leaf, strong the tree, Deep the root, high the branch, Sweet the earth, lying free. Gather dark, hold the night, Stars hang, the moon is bright. Blue the leaf, life returns. In the end sword never fails - Blue the leaf, rise and grow, Deep strike old roots to reach. Star shine, moon glow - Ift seed - Andre Norton, "Victory on Janus"
