STARS

Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,


And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;


Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;


Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,


And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
