Their living light has sparkled far,

And on the attentive silence shone.

God ’mid the shining legions, rears

A tent where burns the radiant sun;

As, like a bridegroom bright, appears

The monarch, on his course begun.

From end to end of azure heaven

He holds his fiery path along;

To all, his circling heat is given,

His radiance flames the spheres among.
