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