Midnight by Moonlight
#1
Midnight by Moonlight
On the Parramatta Estuary

THRICE hath my soul, O Everlasting Lord,
This solemn night, beneath thy dome on high -
The bless'd, blue, serene, o'erarching sky -
Thy loving kindness and Thy power adored.
First, when the broad red sun his farewell smile
Upon this palpitating water shed,
Around me luminous benediction spread,
Methought, I lived in some celestial isle.
Anon, from out heaven's deep unclouded blue,
A thousand radiant stars in glory beamed -
Like seraph hosts, through space, they sang and gleamed.
Why pales their vivid brightness on my view?
Because SHE comes - the virgin Queen of Light
O God, how awful is this noon of night!
