Classic Poem

STAR-DUSI of gold, by Jehovah
Broadcast in heaven-fields, we view,
Arching aloft and far over
All the eternally blue; —

Seed of great thoughts that, unsleeping,
Through the lone silence of night,
Yearningly climbing and creeping,
Swell in the stillness of might; —

Stretch then to Earth, the low-darkling,
Blossom-wreathed tendrils from far,
Till the inspired one, sparkling,
Glows in the star-choir, a star.

Lord of the shining ones, hear me!
Father of bliss and of rest!
Take me, the lonely and weary,
Home to the infinite breast!
