I was recently told by SophiaHeath about a wonderful fantasy author many of you may know already - Sheri S. Tepper. I've enjoyed 4 of her books so far, including the Family Tree, Gibbon's Decline and Fall, Northshore, and Shadow's End. This fragment of a chant appears in Shadow's End:
Mother Darkness come to me,
Father Endless, come to me,
Mother and Father of peace come to me.
Tomorrow will be easier
And the day that follows easier yet.
And I will grow to age in tranquility,
In contentment approaching you,
whom my kindred have forgot.
