rTHAT low hung star is my shalIop white
l. sail through the rufled sky.
And the breath Of the night is warm and
soft
As the galeOn moon goes by.
Sometimes when the moon is young aud
curved,
| tie to its point and then
How my silver PROV cuts the purple sky
From the west 10 the cast again.
The hills in the west arc thick and black,
But the eastern hills are gray
And the cobweb cable that swings be
tween
Is the bridge of the milky way.
Whom just nt the dawn the sky is rcd,
And hear tho first bird call
| drop through tho blue to the velvet hills
Like the fluff Of a milkweed ball.
Then down to my little house | run;
7 creep like mouse to bed
And who shall guess ! have sailed with
the stars,
Save their dust shall sprinkle my head.
