RESIGNATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The dark house yonder is my life
Last Line: Life's dark intent, joy's fitful glow.
Subject(s): Night; Sky; Stars; Bedtime


THE dark house yonder is my life;
It looms against the purple night;
The windows are my stars; I count
Them all, -- each window one delight.

Oh! there are many stars above,
But mine in strong substantial woe
Are framed; I cannot misconstrue
Life's dark intent, joy's fitful glow.
