And G-d made
the day
to be ruled by man
and the night
to be ruled by silence
Shines the sun
venture forth
lions of men
and roar for prey
till eve
Descends darkness
and it is night -
and the human beast
stealths off
to his lair
Then wakes the poet
to his silence
and to his work
till mourn
From the Hebrew by Yanki Tauber
