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
