We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro' the eye,
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the soul slept in beams of light.

God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.

Cada nit i cada matí
alguns neixen per al sofriment.
Cada nit i cada matí
alguns neixen per al plaer.

Som induïts a creure una mentida
quan no veiem a través dels nostres ulls,
allò que ha nascut en una nit per morir en una nit,
quan l’ànima dorm en els raigs de la llum.

Déu apareix i Déu és llum,
per a les pobres ànimes que viuen en la nit;
però una forma humana es manifesta
als qui viuen al regne del dia.
