O' Flahtery portrays night as a goddess. She, referring to night, is both darkness and light and expansive among the heavens. Her dark forces and emptiness cause a longing for people and animals to rest. This hymn longs for dawn to break the forces of the daughter of the sky, night.

This hymn relates to Hinduism because Hinduism builds its views off of hymns. Also, because it portrays night as a goddess, which is also a characteristic of Hinduism. Lastly, it relates to Hinduism because the hymns portrays night as one of many gods, and monotheism is also a characteristic of Hinduism. Specifically, we see pantheism in that the world is apart of God.

This hymn relates to the Rig Veda in that in embodies the idea of creation. It is also a belief system and requires faith because it is intangible so it requires belief. It also deals with the human cycle because night brings people to sleep and light brings life.

The Bible is seen throughout this hymn because of its relation to creation and how it portrays the heavens as glorious. A verse that specifically portrays this is Psalm 19:1 which says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky above proclaims his handiwork."

It contrasts the Bible because the heavens and night are merely creation, rather than deity. Although it is glorious in appearance, it is not a god itself.
