Oh sun !
What have you done to
darkness ?
Have you
driven it?
slain it ?
or
gobbled it up ?
Did you conceal it
in your kissing embrace
with hands of rays ?
Is darkness your
foe or food?
Is it your lady love
dismayed at your
absence thro' the night
and thus
turned black ?
Overjoyed at your
emergence,
did it imbibe your
radiance and blend
with you ?
Are you both
children of the same mother?
Did your mother
ordain
both of you
to protect the world
by
coming in turns?
Are the two of you
immortal ?
or the
divine elixir
itself?
We hail you both!
Oh sun!
We hail you !
