The Star of the Magi
March 1961
Beyond the Fortress of the Night That rules the Gulf of Avatar My own transfigured soul burns bright And glorious: A Deathless Star!
And this our pledge to those who keep Their vigil on the dreadful Deep Ad Astra Athanasia!
This is the star the Magi know It flashes in the mystic North Artemis bends it to her bow It tips the shaft She blazes forth!
And this our pledge to those who keep Their vigil on the Dreadful Deep Ad Astra Athanasia!
There is a Tyger burning bright A Star seen from beneath the Trees “In the forests of the night” Of Her eternal mysteries!
And this our pledge to those who keep Their vigil on the Dreadful Deep Ad Astra Athanasia!
“Childe Roland to the dark tower came” The Watchtower of the Universe “Siege Perilous” its awful name And “Chapel Dolorous” its curse
And this our pledge to those who keep Their vigil on the Dreadful Deep Ad Astra Athanasia!
Supine the armored dead man lies A Master slain, an empty Shrine Diana, Huntress of the Skies! Take Thou his soul and make it Thine
And this our pledge to those who keep Their vigil on the Dreadful Deep Ad Astra Athanasia!
