Paean to Kunderah is a poem by the Cardassian writer Maran Bry. It unfavorably contrasts a celebrated Cardassian victory over the Klingons with the Bajoran Occupation. (DS9 novel: A Stitch in Time)

The price they paid in blood is returned

by your healing kiss,

My matriarch, keeper of the mysteries and companion

To those heroes who stood between us

and eternal night.
