We are born at nightfall and we die ere morn, And the whole darkness of the world know...


How can we guess its truth,
to darkness born,
The obscure consequences of

Only the stars do teach us light.
We grasp their scattered smallness's

Why should these small denials of the
whole more than the black whole the
pleased eyes attract ?
Why what it calls "worth" does the
captive soul add to the small and from
the large detract ?



So, out of light's love wishing it night's
stretch.
A nightly thought of day we darkly reach...
