The four poems below are here thanks to CountChristoph of DeviantArt, an affiliate to this project ^_^ ! I've been thinking of putting it into the storyline, and it's going to influence the entire storyline of the main character, Aimée Duchemin. You'll soon see how !
Château des rêves
Tales tell of a castle deep in the night
Awakened by the twinkling of a star,
Where children dream in shrouds of soft moonlight.
It lies across a world of snowy white -
The traverse is yet very, very far
To the castle so deep within the night.
It lies beyond a vale bathed in twilight
In fields and forests where miracles are,
Where clildren dream in shrouds of soft moonlight.
It lies upon a lake, clean and polite,
As though it poured from out a crystal jar -
This castle sleeping deep within the night.
The bridge is down, as though it would invite
All those who have travelled so very far
To sleep within the shrouds of soft moonlight.
Upon its walls grow roses, pure and white
Awakened by the twinkling of a star.
Tales tell of a castle deep in the night
Where children dream in shrouds of soft moonlight.

La terre des rêves bleus
Follow the road of primroses in gold -
Dragons shall see that you come to no harm
As you traverse the misty moors of old.
These are the creatures of which tales are told -
A child, taken by the dragon's charm
Follows the road of primroses in gold.
These are the creatures that your hand can hold,
When one descends, he will stretch out his arm
As you traverse the misty moors of old.
These are the creatures that will be so bold
To take you as a boon, have no alarm -
Follow the road of primorses in gold.
These are the creatures that will never scold
For trouble with one look they can unarm
As you traverse the misty moors of old.
These are the creatures of your tale untold
Be cautious - dragons have a lasting charm.
Follow the road of primroses in gold
As you traverse the misty moors of old.

Turning Prayers Into Power
Look to the stars, and deep in wonder pray,
And wonder as the rain comes softly down
Upon a world whose stains are washed away.
Even if you can find no words to say
As winds about you stir your dressing-gown
Look to the stars, and deep in wonder pray.
Even though you can never yet repay
Those who were lost in blooming, stricken down
Upon a world whose stains are washed away
Standing beneath the moonlight's dewy day
Within your heart, your deepest sorrows drown
Awed by the stars; you, deep in wonder, pray.
When you believe yourself unfit to stay
You face a hero's welcome and renown
Within the world whose stains are washed away.
Your soul was pure when you made the assay,
To save those you forsook with your hometown.
Look to the stars, and deep in wonder pray
Within the world whose stains are washed away.

Le Vol des Enfants
Take heart, dear children, through the falling snow
Upon the path to where miracles are -
Remember you are loved wher'er you go:
When you are lost, look to the holy star.
The nightingale your anthem soon shall be
While you travel the forest, through the mists.
Look straight ahead, and wonders you shall see,
And remember that love never insists.
Remember, though you travel far away
Under the guidance of the Northern Dawn,
And when you reach the distant lands, dears pray
Remember me, though you are ever gone.
Your homeland you must forsake for your cause -
Alas, that children must need flee these laws !
