“The glory of the day was in her face,
The beauty of the night was in her eyes.”

The beauty of the night was in her eyes.
And over all her loveliness, the grace
Of Morning blushing in the early skies.”

Or ere the first sun fledged his wings of flame,
Calm Night, the everlasting and the same,
A brooding mother over chaos lay.”
