We marvel how each mesh is hung
With stars, and how each fold is pearled
With strands OF living fire whose glow
Comes family through the outer mist
Where subtle colors ebb and flow

Where patiently the planets climb,
And there Is held before his eye
The unsolved mystery OF time.

Why Is IL In its grandeur blurred

Why, when our sight has found the place

Do unknown fingers swiftly trace
a constellation farther yet?
