On Rich and Poor

Old folk remember
 And those today learn
 How before their time
 Life was different here:
 Without the sun people lived
 Groped 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 out 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?
