Seven Sisters

*******

At the final passing of night

in those last stars to fade

dwell the Seven Sisters

fabled Muses of the sky

Those who toil and sweat

to hone their sharpest edge

for these fortunate few

they descend and bless

The lack-luster efforts

of the lazy and uncaring
meet with no rewards

as the Sisters shun them

The Seven respect passion

they wait to inspire and encourage the true

but have no time for apathy or sloth

and those who only seek glory and riches

So woo whichever Sister you would

with a pure heart and full hands

For their love is hard-won
and provides riches beyond compare
