Fiddler on the Roof

At the Twilight Hour
Before the Birth of Time
When a Formless Void Engulfed All—

There was no Truth
Nor any Untruth
No Embracing Universe
Nor Firmament
Stretched across an Azure Canvas;

When Shadows of Ignorance
Veiled Knowledge from a Restless Mind—

Then was Born a Star
Nascent, Pure and Luminous

Born to Dispel the Darkness
Born to Father Warmth

It Chased the Reigning Night away
And Ushered in the Dawn
Of Life.
