But sullen Night with raven wing,
Did first from fatal Nörver[1] spring.
The Deities benign ordain
The silver Moon to wax and wane;
And shed her renovated light,
In monthly wheel, on human fight.

Vafthrudnis! tell, since thou art wife,
And sacred truth thy speech supplies;
Whence at the first came winter’s snow,
And whence the summer’s sultry glow;
Spreading their influence thro' the skies,
Over the sage divinities?
