To my surprise I have landed on a planet so cold
That the seas shine like jewels
The Gethenians come forth. And alone for years
I succumb to the lightness and weep
In the city’s cocoon, they unwrap the layers
To reveal neither man nor woman, a race evolved
Light is the left hand of darkness
These two are one
They lie together, like lovers
To the end and the way
As the days go by I grow slack, seduced by the glow
Though mistrust assails. Am I envoy, insurgent, or both?
Light is the left hand of darkness
These two are one
They lie together, like lovers
To the end and the way
He who I mistrust, I must love
Who has forestalled would now free me
I open to him my mind, as we trudge
Across the expanding tracts of ice
Light is the left hand of darkness
These two are one
They lie together, like lovers
To the end and the way
