Hokulei

Hokulei, winter king, goat star,
so many names, so many glances, yellow 
as an old ivory domino handled over years;
Hokulei, bring her home across the water,
Hokulei, bring her home across the sky.

Capella, little goat, springing stone to stone,
coldest star of winter, last to leave in spring,
counterpoise to Vega, one last favor:
Capella, bring our sister from the island,
Capella, bring our sister to the main.

Alhajoth dearest, Alhajoth who nursed 
heaven alone and hunted when he 
was hidden from the old one's rage at time:
Alhajoth, bring her home across the water,
Alhajoth, bring her home across the sky.
