“Stars are fleeting;
Night retreating—
Yellow-stealing Dawn begun!
Slowly, mark!
Uplifts the dark—
See, first a spark—then all the Sun!
Birds are singing,
Forests ringing,
Hark, O hark!
Danger flies with daylight springing;
O rejoice—your watch is done!”—
Night retreating—
Yellow-stealing Dawn begun!
Slowly, mark!
Uplifts the dark—
See, first a spark—then all the Sun!

Forests ringing,
Hark, O hark!
Danger flies with daylight springing;
O rejoice—your watch is done!”—
But when the invading host next day
Found their great bulwark, guide and stay
Borne off in this mysterious way,
A panic seized them, one and all!
No further councils would they call;
Their planned retreat became a flight,
And all had disappeared ere night.
Found their great bulwark, guide and stay
Borne off in this mysterious way,
A panic seized them, one and all!
No further councils would they call;
Their planned retreat became a flight,
And all had disappeared ere night.
