Near and Far

Near and far, near and far,
All the lights were keeping
Quiet watch with lamp and star,
While the roads were sleeping.

And I saw, far and near:
Starlight overhead;
While a woman's shadow, here,
Made to-morrow's bread.

Near and far; and I forgot
Stars must needs be small:
Lamp and shadow, knowing not,
Did so fold them all.
