This above all, this single star in sight,

Is heaven pinned, and earth’s quick pulse and sigh,

Of breath ethereal, traverses night,

Her bold eternal vastnesses of sky ~

Beyond our musing satellites of dreams,

Unfathomed oceans of infinity

Drift free, horizonless, from mortal themes ~

Expanded notions of Divinity ~

Vanish into the void like gods unknown,

Mirroring silent, all our vanity,

Till stand we gaping vacant and alone,

Towards the abyss of our sanity ~

And stare to space as at a face unborn,

To glean the bright complexion of the dawn.
