In light and in shadow I have sworn my word.
I call to witness the watching eyes
of Valorn's proud and valiant people,
and Sunrifter's dwellers, the strong world-builders,
the oath-guardians, the gods of Valorn.
In light and in shadow I have sworn my word:
through comings and goings, green leaf-forests
and white wastelands, winters and summers,
through black darkness, bitterness, breaking
of heart and hope, and helpless distress.
For as the dawn draws up light
from the gods' well, like water flowing,
drenching the dry and desert dark,
so the sun returns, shining and sure,
as bright each morning as burning gold.
In light and in shadow I have sworn my word.
