No man, nor flower, nor
bird, no beast, not gathered by sun, nor 'pon garden's feast. God
casted out, forever, the dark, the dim, and a glum, of a no where,
nothing, no frolic, nor fun. Before a morning passed, God's hammered
command sparked a light to blast. Warm life did swarm, and soon in
distress. He bestowed one a likeness, the other his breast. Banning
the void, He also left Night, leaving it dark, to fearful hiding, an
unknow'd fright.
Time went. And the days
did find and still eyes could see, yet Night aged, blind. And, too,
grew old—lonely. It tolled darkest, the hummed tones chimed. Did
ever God say, “Call Night never blessed, only matter, nor MINE”?
Unlighted, pale of dark,
evenings creatures teemed. No smiles seen, in Night's lightless
means. Night can only dream . . . of Creation. Day not daunted, it
flees Night's 'vitation; day's settings timed and done. Always night
left behind, a union unwon. Sad the Night remained. . . unwanted, .
. . unloved. . . and awaited the joys of God's only shining Son.
