day and night, night and day –
it hasn’t always been this way.
night, the giant, was dark and lusty.
her hair bestarred, her complexion dusky.
when night met the giant dawn,
they quickly married and had a son.
like his father, he was fair and gay,
so they named this child day.
to divide the time into dark and light,
the gods employed day and his mother, night.
on glorious steeds with jewel-like eyes,
the duo race across the skies.
to wash the world and make everything new,
every night night’s horse produces the dew.
to guide the horses through this astral world,
are moon and sun, a boy and a girl.
