Decision
Decision
With bands of gold and rays of red
We say goodbye to sunlit day
To welcome Lady moon instead
Through sparkled heavens her course does lay
And in her turn she lays her head
Upon the distant edge of earth.
In like measure day and night
Sun and moon with starlit sky
Do keep the time of heaven’s light
In valleys low and mountains high
Upon the distant edge of earth.
As the beat of the celestial heart
Measures now the course we set
To follow or lead will be a part
Of the life we choose then place the bet
That it will be right to the end or start
Upon the distant edge of earth.
