<span class="i0">Prayers that were birds winging wide,<br/></span>

<span class="i0">Prayers must be brave for the dark,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Strong for the chill of the star,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Fearing no fate to embark<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Over the bar.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Prayers of the sun and the moon,<br/></span>
