("Allunde" is the title of a song sung by Sweet Honey in the Rock. The title means "New Day.")
Her voice is the dawn of the world
The call breeds response
Throbbing with heartbeat
Cascading with abandoned sighs
Her voice is the dawn of the world
Where exaltation
Lurks and springs
Pulling open throats torn with grief
Her voice is dawn
The world is morning sun
She stands before
We become our own shadows
She wrenches up day
While lullabyeing night
Her voice dawn voice
Spinning to here
The end of it all
Where everything, everyone breaks
But she is
Silk black ribbon song
And she can
Tribal rhythm you
Never breaking
Ululating
With the voice of the dawn of the world.
