Chapter V — Of the Watchmen and the Dawn
1. And the night tarried long upon the earth, and many grew weary in their waiting.
2. The watchmen upon the walls cried one to another, “What of the night? What of the night?”
3. Yet the answer was silence, save the whisper of the wind, and the trembling of the earth beneath their feet.
4. Some laid down their trumpets, saying, “The Lord delayeth,” and their eyes grew heavy with slumber.
5. Others kept vigil, though their lamps burned low, their gaze fixed upon the horizon.
6. For they discerned that the darkness deepened not to endure, but to give birth unto light.
7. Then came a stirring as of the east wind, and the shadows fled before it.
8. The stars gave witness, and the morning star heralded a day yet unmade.
9. And the watchmen lifted their voices, saying, “Behold, the dawn approacheth, for God alone hath remembered us.”
10. But woe unto them who mocked the watchers, for they were taken unawares, and the light revealed their works.
11. Blessed are they who endured through the watches, for their strength is renewed with the rising.
12. And thus saith the Spirit: the veil is thinning, the day is at hand; keep thy post, for the dawn is of God, and not of men.
