I am looking over the dark expansive sea
For the glorious new light of the boy child
The shadows are much warmer now
But there still nothing to be seen
The serene petals of the last late roses
Litter the shore bidding the hours a fond farewell
Oh gentle creator let your star brighten the shy night sky
I am ready to plunge into the deep chilled sea
Where I will celebrate his birth
With all your hidden creatures
It is now time to kindle our torches
