Dona of Assyria

Enunciation: “DO’NA!”
Dona Queen of the shepherds
Dona vacillating soul of joys
Seeking to gather all
Back to our humanity
Gathering with your devotion
Herding us with your sociable canon laws

Queen of shepherds
Where is thy herd now?
The black sheep roams lost
Within the herd we hear turmoil
Where Dona queen of shepherds sleeps
Sleep is not so sound

Vigor accompanies you my queen
Where you go goes thy strength of heart
Where you sleep reign the passions of your heart
That a far off land left you here
That a timid people served you wrongly
All to be erased with the roar of thy laughter
And the fury of your sleep

Oh my Queen of shepherds you have done your deed
Allow now the wolves and foxes to care for thy loose tribe
