Old folk remember And those today learn How before their time Life was different here: Without the sun people lived Gropped about without the moon With candles sowing was done Planting performed with torches. At the time we lived Without the sunshine Who had covered up our sun And who had hidden our moon ? Without the moonlight stumbled With our fists fumbled the land With our hands we sought our roads With hands roads, with fingers swamps We could not live without sun Nor manage without moonlight; Who would seek out the sun Who spy out the moon ? Who else if not God The one son of God ?
