Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;

And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.

Move round this dark terrestrial ball,
What though no real voice nor sound

And utter forth a glorious voice,
For ever singing as they shine
<< The hand that made us is divine. "
