Chapter 3

 At that hour when all things have repose¹,

    O lonely watcher of the skies,

    Do you hear the night wind and the sighs

Of harps² playing unto Love to unclose

    The pale gates of sunrise?

 

When all things repose, do you alone

    Awake to hear the sweet harps play

    To Love before him on his way,

And the night wind answering in antiphon

    Till night is overgone?

 

Play on, invisible harps, unto Love,

    Whose way in heaven is aglow³

    At that hour when soft lights come and go,

Soft sweet music in the air above

    And in the earth below.
