I curse the sun

And I curse the night

Yet tell this ovoid world

To spin forever

Eye the moon

In landlocked flight

Tell me will they always revolve together

Beseech the stars

Alive at night

Tell me if you deign

To shine forever

It's all I know

And all I might

Am I wrong to even doubt

This is the age of reason

And ask the question

yet cede the answer

How honest is the sun

That I once knew

A different setting

And ceaseless adding

What time is always telling

Old from new

Grip the hour

As it slips from view

How honest is the moon

That I once knew

But close my eyes

With all my might

Try to tell myself

This is the age of reason

Breathe in the dark

Believe in the light

Yet know this pair will always

Revolve together

It's all I know

And all I might

Am I wrong to even doubt

This is the age of reason
