Nighttime
When thou settest in the western horizon
The earth is in darkness, like death.[14]
The night is passed in a bed-chamber with heads covered.
One eye sees not the other.
All their belongings which are under their heads might be stolen,
And they would not know it.
Every lion comes forth from his den,[15] and all snakes bite.
Darkness broods, the earth is still,
While he who made them rests in his horizon.
