Along the dawn the little star went singing
Low-poised and clear to see.
Shaking the light like drops of May-dew, ciinglne
Her bright locks mistily.
Like any snowflake faded In the winging.
Her voice fell white TO me.
20 winds of EARTH that sorrow as ye ny
And take no rest.
Why 20 We ever seeking with that cry
Some ruined nest?
''why weep my world? All. strange and sad thou
Thou far-off cne.
The saddest wanderer that hath warmed her near'
At yonder sun.
and would give thee comfort IL I might.
That know not how;
HAPPY see not far, for all the lignt
About my brow.
But who shall be thy sister, sorrowing?
All me- Not
That wander in bond Of Joy and sing.
And know not why
along the dawn across unfathomed deep.
Cnspent unbowed.
Through shadows OF the moonlight thin as sleep.
Through fields Of cloud
Poor world thou aged world. only know
That am led , 49, o
songful journey: art not thou? Nay. So
Be comforted."
Along the dawn the little star went. winging
Glad ways across the wild,
Shaking the light that clung 10 her, enrihsihs
An unremembering child:
Wide arms Of morning gathered her; sun sneihs'
And the Earth saw. and smiled ,,
