Mournful thy beam, pale star!

Though round me might blaze now
The light and glory in which thou art

While silently rolls on
In paths of living light each radiant sphere.
Thy goings forth have been,
In thy bright beauty, since the elder time'
When undefled by sin,
Earth, too, was lovely in her beings primo
"And still thou art the same
AS beautiful and fair as then thou vert;

Yet shall thy brightness fade in endless
