 Change of change, darkness of darkness, hidden, Very death of very death, begun When none knows,—the knowledge is forbidden— Self-begotten, self-proceeding, one, Born, not made—abhorred, unchained, unchidden, Night stands here defiant of the sun.

Change of change, and death of death begotten, Darkness born of darkness, one and three, Ghostly godhead of a world forgotten, Crowned with heaven, enthroned on land and sea, Here, where earth with dead men's bones is rotten, God of Time, thy likeness worships thee.
