See how the darkness overtakes the light
See how the darkness overtakes the light,
A blanket shadowing these balls of dough,
They rise, arise again to higher height.
Some men see plain as all that’s pure and bright, And when an onion drags this taste too low, See how the darkness overtakes the light.
The skillful baker does not feel such fright, And adding flavor helps his crowds to grow, They rise, arise again to higher height.

He forms his seamless rings all through the night,
Too rapt to ever through his lone window
See how the darkness overtakes the light.
At dawn he sets his ovens to ignite, His spirits climbing with the fire’s glow,
At dawn he sets his ovens to ignite, His spirits climbing with the fire’s glow,
They rise, arise again to higher height.
But tired hands turn dials far too tight,
Hot flames upon pale crusts do death bestow;
See how the darkness overtakes the light,
They rise, arise again to higher height.
