In the beginning, was a hole,

And the hole was without sound

the sound was without a beat,

the beat was without melody.

And there were no words to the music.

 

Then a voice was heard:

Let there be a dance.

and let the dance have sound,

and let the sound be a song,

 

and let the song have words,

and let the words form poetry.

And let a beat take form.

And let all dance along.

 

But the world was void of dancers

So God took Elm and Ash

and made from each a man and woman.

And then the dance began.
