First Line: The stars in yonder heavens
Last Line: My own dear mistress's face.
Subject(s): Faces; Stars
THE stars in yonder heavens
Immovably have stood
For thousands of years, regarding
Each other in sad loving mood.
They speak a mysterious language
That's rich and sweet to the ear;
Yet no philologist living
Can make its meaning clear.
But I've learnt it, and ne'er will forget it,
Whatever the time and place;
As my grammar I used for the purpose
My own dear mistress's face.
