1. A glimmer that died long ago
Behind a veil that concealed it

2. It lingered in a mother's womb
Hidden from her children

3. The sun sharpened it for ages
Then the spirit returned to it

4. It was as if the water of Messiah
When we placed it on her mouth

5. From it emerged a lamp
Radiant, giving light

6. From it suns appeared
That set at their rising

7. Our minds were perplexed when
They set while still ascending
