"Mirrorbright" was a traditional lullaby from Alderaan. The Alderaanian grandmother of Carise Sindian used to sing it when she felt nostalgic for her homeworld. Since Alderaan never had a natural satellite, Leia Organa speculated, much to her horror, that many Alderaanian children must have thought of "Mirrorbright" when they saw the moon-sized Death Star battle station appear in their sky, as the poem's lyrics spoke of a moon. Organa also owned a music box which played "Mirrorbright" that she kept in her keepsake chest.[1]
Lyrics[]
- Mirrorbright, shines the moon, its glow as soft as an ember
- When the moon is mirrorbright, take this time to remember
- Those you have loved but are gone
- Those who kept you so safe and warm
- The mirrorbright moon lets you see
- Those who have ceased to be
- Mirrorbright shines the moon, as fires die to their embers
- Those you loved are with you still—
- The moon will help you remember
