By Mercedes Lackey
- For the sake of bitter loving
  - Sad meetings
    - He saw her and he loved her
      - She - dances in the shadows
      - For a doom upon her lies
    - And he knew his love was vain
      - If the sunlight shines upon her
      - The Shadowdancer dies
  - Sadder partings
    - For he was born of sunlight
      - And on his line is this curse
      - laid - That once the day is sped
    - And must be the shadow's bane
      - In sleep like death he lies 'til
      - Once again the night has fled
- Nonetheless they will endure
  - And the breaking
    - So ere the curse could claim him
      - One evening in the twilight
      - That is neither day nor night
    - Then he shed one bitter tear
      - The time part bred of shadow
      - And partly born of light
  - of each heart
    - To know his only love must
      - A trembling Shadowdancer
      - Heard the voice of love and doom
    - Also be his greatest fear
      - That sang a song of sunlight
      - Thru the gathering evening gloom
