(An Evening Reflection Upon God's Grandeur Prompted by the Great Northern Lights)
-translation-
The day conceals its brilliant face,
And dark night covers up the fields,
Black shadows creep upon the hills,
Light's rays recede from us.
Before us gapes a well of stars -
Stars infinite, well fathomless.
