:The infinite shining heavens :Rose, and I saw in the night :Uncountable angel stars :Showering sorrow and light. :I saw them distant as heaven, :Dumb and shining and dead, :And the idle stars of the night :Were dearer to me than bread. :Night after night in my sorrow :The stars looked over the sea, :Till lo! I looked in the dusk :And a star had come down to me.
