I saw three dragons come flying in.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
I saw three dragons come flying in.
On Gather Day in the morning.

And who was on those dragons all three?
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
And who was on those dragons all three?
On Gather Day in the morning.

Our Weyrleader F'lar, Lessa, F'nor.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
Our Weyrleader F'lar, Lessa, F'nor.
On Gather Day in the morning.

Pray, whither flew those dragons all three?
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
Pray, whither flew those dragons all three?
On Gather Day in the morning.

O, they flew to Benden Weyr.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
O, they flew to Benden Weyr.
On Gather Day in the morning.

And all the bells on Pern shall ring.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
And all the bells on Pern shall ring.
On Gather Day in the morning.

And all the harpers in the Hall shall sing.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
And all the harpers in the Hall shall sing.
On Gather Day in the morning.

And all the Holders on Pern shall sing.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
And all the Holders on Pern shall sing.
On Gather Day in the morning.

Then let us all rejoice and sing.
On Gather Day, on Gather Day.
Then let us all rejoice and sing.
On Gather Day in the morning.
