Nótt

The masker, thrice wed,

Who brings the joy-of-sleep,

Before the Day, her son, she rides

Around Jord, the earth, that she birthed

She is Darkness and the Night,

Eternal Dream Goddess

Nótt is a poem from my upcoming book, She Set The Sky Ablaze. The piece is about Nótt, the Old Norse personification of Night. According to the myths, she was married three times and was the mother of Jord (Earth) and Dag (Day).
