Between light and shadow In the haze bleak and gray In the foggy veil of blue, I was drawn by the dawn Outlined by the day There among my own Reared by my kith and kin I learnt the words and the everyday chores The toil, the lot of man I was born with the Sun Number and knowledge Perished with the Moon I was I gained from the day The song of life's splendor I was taught by the night And wise were the dead Number and knowledge Who stood by my side I gained from the day As I walked straight and narrow On my path in the Sun From the vault of the heavens I stole the Moon's magic song From the pearl in the shell, spied the secret words Just to forget it all Between the light and shadow In the haze, bleak, and gray In the dusk, I faded Disappeared into the night I was born with the Sun Number and knowledge Perished with the Moon I was I gained from the day As I walked straight and narrow On my path in the Sun I was born with the Sun Number and knowledge Perished with the Moon I was I gained from the day The song of life's splendor I was taught by the night And wise were the dead Number and knowledge Who stood by my side I gained from the day As I walked straight and narrow On my path in the Sun
