A sunray from a charming, far-off place

Fell on the darkness and stirred up the Night

The crowd awoken, jostled in a daze,

And turned the sphere onto its nether side.

 

It curved, it shook, it tore the ray with passion,

The trumpets blared a triumph over Light.

The crowds rang a small bell for compassion,

And no one could discern the Day from Night.

 

A shady demon broke into the Day,

Upturned the space and quickly flew away.
