I saw the dark and cold night creeping, pushing away Sun’s glorious light. I heard its hopeless sounds of sleeping feeding on despair’s delight. I felt the pain of day dreams dying, flowing through my heart and soul, and heard dark night's empty stillness crying, ringing loud its silent toll. But, in answer to my prayer, God sent me a dream of the dawn’s glorious Sun, as it was in the beginning of His first day… His most warm and brilliant ray. Through the dense, dark webs that my night had spun, born again was hope of day.
