Pride Not Yourself, O Night!
Why do you permit evils
by habouring thieves in your shadows, O Night?
Why do you welcome black cats and black birds,
by allowing ‘em, und’r your arms, to bewitch the innocent?
O Night, you think you’re much wiser at night
when you give us your sleeping poison at night!
Pride not yourself, O Night,
for our Lord has destroy’d all your works
by exposing ‘em on the broad day light!
