who arms the Pleiades with light
and girds the soul through conscience
for the moral fight.
His love is far too strong,
His eye too piercing bright
for man, who only can
endure through many veils His sight.
His judgment orders messengers
to us deprived of might,
and stands our sin before us
as we hurry into night.
His purity, His truth, His beauty
empty out of white,
swords flashing, cymbals crashing,
music, multiplicity, delight.
His promise is unhedged
and hangs persuasive at our right,
whose mercy is severe
and arms the Pleiades with light.
