Rites of Passage

We wait in the darkness!
Come, all ye who listen,
Help in our night journey:
Now no sun is shining;
now no star is glowing;
come show us the pathway:
The night is not friendly;
The moon has forgot us,
We wait in the darkness!
"Darkness Song" from Myths and Legends of the New York Iroquois
by Harriett M. Converse, New York State Bulletin 125 December 15, 1908
