In splendour bright
Is rising now the sun and darts his rays;
An amorous joyful, happy spouse,
A giant proud and glad
To run his measur′d course.
With softer beams
And milderlight steps
On the silver moon
Thro' silent night.
The space immense of th′azure sky,
In numerous host of radiant orbs adorns,
And the sons of God
Announced the fourth
Day in song divine,
Proclaiming thus His power
