- delightful
Meaning
Night is delightful at III.5. The adjective evaluates her as welcome and pleasing in the same hymn that gives darkness its other atmospheric and protective qualities. It is not equivalent to sleep-giving, even though delight and restful night can be closely associated in the invocation.
