Excerpt from A Summer Day

by Alexander Hume, 1560–1609

  

O Perfect Light, which shaid away

  The darkness from the light,

And set a ruler o'er the day,

  Another o'er the night—

 

 

Thy glory, when the day forth flies,

  More vively doth appear

Than at mid day unto our eyes

  The shining sun is clear.
