Subject(s): Heaven; Sky; Stars; Paradise
It may be true the stars are worlds,
And twenty times the earth in size;
But all I know, or care to know,
Is in the limit of my eyes.
Which proves that any star can see
Her face in one small drop of dew;
And that the Moon, the lovely Moon,
With half her heaven of stars in view,
Can see their beauty, all in full,
Down in one little wayside pool.
