The morning star heralded the dawn.
Announce the dawn, morning star
So it entered morning, with night's wing as though no wing remained.
Daybreak has arrived, and the wings of night have folded

So above the dawn it is like a spearhead that has fallen
It has descended on the dawn like a flashing sword
Before the eye, as it has fallen onto a spear.
As it descended on a spear, pleasing to the eye
