歌词
原作为《The Hymns Of Orpheus》(译者为Thomas Taylor)中《To Night》一节
Night,parent Goddess,source of sweet repose
From whom at first both Gods and men arose
Hear,blessed Venus,decked with starry light
In sleep's deep silence dwelling Ebon night
Dreams and soft ease attend thy dusky train
Pleased with the lengthened gloom and feastful strain
Dissolving anxious care,the friend of mirth
With darkling coursers riging round the earth
Goddess of phantoms and shadowy play
Whose drowsy power divides the natual day
By Fate's decree you constant send the light
To deepest hell,remote from mortal sight
For dire Necessity,which nought withstands
Invests the world with adamantine bands
Be present,Godess,to thy supliant's prayer
Desired by all,whom all alike revere
Blessed,benevolent,with friendly aid
Dispel the fears of twilight's dreadful shade
Dissolving anxious care,the friend of mirth
With darkling coursers riging round the earth
