Darkness

Darkness

I had a dream, which was not all a dream

The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars

Did wander darkling in the eternal space

Rayless, and pathless

Morn came and went and came, and brought no day

She was the Universe

I had a dream

Dream

The world was void

The populous and the powerful was a lump

Seasonless, herbless, treeless, lifeless

The winds were wither'd in the stagnant air

And the clouds perish'd; Darkness had no need

Of aid from them

She

Was the Universe
