Leave your Home and take the Nightingale with you - Runes for Wanderers

The Spell of the Nightingales

If you have the blessing

Of a nightingale flying

Into your house

And making your home

Its own abode,

You will be graced

With heavenly music.

And when heavenly music

Is being sung, the very cosmos

reins to listen for awhile,

Bringing the universe

Into your house.

But if by your carelessness

You set your home on fire,

You do not let the nightingale

Lie trapped, hoping that it

Would sing and call the rain.

No, you must save the nightingale instead

And leave your home.

For now that you have

The mightiest singer,

And now that you are

Named in a poem,

Wherever the nightingale sings,

There shall always be your home.
