And one star calls to another
The full strains of song
Till the deeps Of space glow with its
grace
And echo it full strong;
And whirling out OF the silence
A world Of worlds appears
In an onward rush through the endless
hush
And day is thousand years.
And one star sings to another,
And sun holds speech with sun,
While the drifting veil Of yapor pale
Shows another world begun.
But we count time by dawning
Or mark by a twilight fall
But the stars sing on when the years
are gone
And what are we, after all7
The words and hopes and doubling,
The joy and the dreams and dread,
And the puny lives in tie puny hives
Where toll is done for bread;
A day, night, and another
A round Of the spinning ball;
A sigh and a smile for the brfefest
while -
And what are we, after all?
And one star calls to another
A song we may not know;
Calls distant sun to a dying sun
AS the ages come and go.
And we mark time by minute,
And Groom over smiles and tears
But the stars sing ON whes the worlds
are gone,
And a day is thousand years.
