The verse

First light divides the still-dark sky,One lone tree cannot hold the dawn.Walk linked-of-sleeve to meet the sun—Two shadows make the rough road smooth.

Reading

This lot bids you not walk alone on lone strength. As dawn first stirs, link arms with a worthy companion and complete each other; mutual light clears the path. Ask only for one heart—do not divine the ending.

The temple keeper adds

Neither bright nor dark. The rest of the weather, you make yourself.
