1. BLACK WINTER DAY

                           This is how the lucky feel
                            How the blessed think
                            Like daybreak in spring
                         The sun on a spring morning

                              But how do I feel 
                            In my gloomy depths?

                         Like the flat brink of a cloud
                          Like a dark night in autumn
                              A black winter day
                             No, darker than that
                        Gloomier than an autumn night

3. MOON AND SUN

  Where has the sun gone from us Where is the moon lost to us The moon will not
   gleam at all Nor will the sun shine at all Death opens its mouth The son of the
  Northlander Camo to look, to listen "There beyond the river is hero walking" He
 took one step and took another To the north's shore he hurried He drew his sword,
  wrenched the iron Snatched from the sheath the harsh one Upon whose point the
 moon shone Upon whose hilt the sun flashed Upon whose back a horse stands He
  uttered a word, spoke thus, "There the sun has gone from you The sun gone and
                               the moon lost" 

4. MOON AND SUN PART II: NORTH'S SON

  Go, look at the moon And inspect the sun! Now they are in the sky Right in their
  old places Hail, moon, for gleeming Fair one for showing your face Dear sun for
  dawning And daylight for coming up! Dear moon, you're out from the rock Fair
  day from the cliff You've risen as a golden cuckoo As a silver dove Up to where
  you used to live Fare well now upon Your way, upon your journey Sweetly end
                your curve beautifully Come at evening into joy!
