And the hand of approving God

Is placed upon my head.’

And cried, ‘Where art thou, Night?

Come forth, thou Worm; appear,

That I may slay thee quite.’

And the Night answered, ‘Here.’

And the Sun said, ‘My might

Is next to His, Most High;

Canst thou destroy me, Night?’

And the Night answered, ‘Aye.’
