THE COMFORT OF THE STAR:

THE COMFORT OF THE STARS
When I am overmatched by petty cares =
And things of earth loom large, ana look 10 Oe
Of moment, how il soothes and comforts me
To step into the night and feel the airs
OF heaven fan my cheek; and, best OF all,
Gaze up into those all-uncharted seas
Where swim the stately planets; such as these
Make mortal fret seem slight and temporal
muse on what Of Life may stir among
Those spaces knowing naught Of metes nor oars;
Undreamed Of dramas played in Outmost stars,
And lyrics by archangels grandly sung.
I grow familiar with the solar runes.
And comprehend Of worlds the mystic birth
Hinged Saturn. Mars whose fashion apes the
earth
And Jupiter the giant with his moons
Then, dizzy with the unspeakable sights above.
Rebuked by Vast on Vast, my puny heart
Is greatened for it's tTansitory part,
My trouble merged in wonder and in love
