Det har Seraferne :
 Seraferne har rullet bort de klare stjerner
 Og folder moerket ned om jordens skuldre,
 Og staenket dug henover dal og hoeje
 Og haengt de gyldne skyer op i Oesten.

 Hver ting er rede, jord og himmel vente,
 Og solen bier blussende bag bjerge
 På vinket fra Gud Faders herskertrone.
