Griffith, [1896]\n1. WITH all her eyes the Goddess Night looks forth approaching many a spot:\n She hath put all her glories on.\n 2 Immortal. she hath filled the waste, the Goddess hath filled height and depth:\n She conquers darkness with her light.\n 3 The Goddess as she comes hath set the Dawn her Sister in her place:\n And then the darkness vanishes.\n 4 So favour us this night, O thou whose pathways we have visited\n As birds their nest upon the tree.\n 5 The villagers have sought their homes, and all that walks and all that flies,\n Even the falcons fain for prey.\n 6 Keep off the she-wolf and the wolf, O Urmya, keep the thief away;\n Easy be thou for us to pass.\n 7 Clearly hath she come nigh to me who decks the dark with richest hues:\n O Morning, cancel it like debts.\n 8 These have I brought to thee like kine. O Night, thou Child of Heaven, accept\n This laud as for a conqueror.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CXXVII. Night.","type":"page"}
