The Sunsinger and the Shadowdancer

I am the singer,
I am the dancer,

the sun,
the shadow,

a gladsome voice.
a dream of beauty.

Upon me is a curse-
Upon me is a curse-

I cannot feel on bit
I cannot feel one bit

of night or I shall die.
of day or I shall die.

One time when it was
During the time

not day and was not night;
when night turns to day;

a dancer, sweet and lovely
I heard singing that called

a love for all time.
to my heart.

By my love is in vain-,
As if a spell, I followed

for I am born of light
to the wake of this

As she of darkness.
beautiful sound.

My love is my fear
Tears fall for it was

I am the shadow's bane.
the sunsinger's song-

No love can be this hard,
bitter tears for a bitter love,

So now we meet at twilight,
though we only meet to part,

sad meetings, sadder partings
and the breaking of our hearts.

What blame us, if we pray-
for time or death to bring a cure?

For the sake of bitter loving.
Nonetheless we will endure.
