Across the seas that splash and spill!

The morning sands are violet,
Yet blaze a golden hue at noon.

Turn silver from the midnight moon!

Within the dragon’s dune of night.
As the beast of beasts does sit,
His dark eye draws light into it.

You will quake!
You won’t grin

Where the water grows teeth
He wakes to new power!

Of his deadly bright fire!

Pass the test of the stomachaches!
Before you tumble off to sleep,
The crumbs from heaven’s table sweep!
