English text

Night, sable goddess! from her ebon throne,
In rayless majesty, now stretches forth
Her leaden sceptre o'er a slumbering world.
Silence how dead! and darkness how profound!
Nor eye, nor listening ear an object finds;
Creation sleeps and Nature made a pause;
An awful pause! prophetic of her end.

 Night, sable goddess! from her ebon throne,
-In rayless, rayless majesty, now stretches forth
+In rayless majesty, now stretches forth
-Her leaden sceptre, leaden sceptre o'er a slumb'ring world.
+Her leaden sceptre o'er a slumbering world.
+Silence how dead! and darkness how profound!
-Silence how dead! and darkness how profound!
+Nor eye, nor listening ear an object finds;
-Nor eye, nor list'ning ear an object finds;
+Creation sleeps and Nature made a pause;
-Creation sleeps, creation sleeps,
+An awful pause! prophetic of her end.}}
-'Tis as the gen'ral pulse
-Of life stood still, and Nature made a pause; an awful pause!}}
