Dearest darkness, flayed in scarlet-
Broken dreams, treacherous ghosts, fears
Never cease to molest your beauty
Only you, only you dare not fail
To declare the coming light.
None but you, none but you compel,
Propel me into flight
All others bid me stay, bid me sway,
Bid me postpone the coming day.
You alone declare His coming:
You alone prepare the way.
Peaceful darkness, dearest night
