Question Song

Gone away, gone ahead,

Echoes roll unanswered.

Empty, open, dusty, dead.

Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?

Where have dragons gone together?

Leaving Weyrs to wind and weather?

Setting heardbeasts free of tether?

Gone, our safeguards, gone, but whither?

Have they flown to some new Weyr

Where cruel Thread some others fear?

Are they worlds away from here?

Why, oh, why, the empty Weyr?
