Mighty Night
Oh mighty night,*
You, daughter of Chaos and Darkness,
Mother of Sleep, of Dream and of Death,
Whenever you embrace me
The enchanting lullaby of Sleep I hear that
Throws me into ecstasy
Thus
In the magic land of Dreams, I venture
Till
Death, your beloved son, claims me as his
Very own,
Guiding me thus into his palaces of
Light eternal!

Darkness and she bore the many children of Erebus=“Hades”, among them were:
Sleep=’’Ypnos”, Dreams= “Onar” and Death “Thanatos”. Moreover, it was from
The night that light sprang!
