SONG OF THE MORNING STARS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Through the abysses of the sky
Last Line: Like us the over-lords of time.
Subject(s): Time


THROUGH the abysses of the sky
Surge upon surge the years sweep by,
Yet still our spheral voices chime,
For we are over-lords of Time.

We view all secrets face to face, --
The deep solemnities of space,
The rayless voids of outer sea,
The courts of God's eternity.

It is our bliss to be above
All passions save eternal Love,
And this our choral lips rehearse
Throughout the listening universe.

So shall the centuries wax and wane
Till Song and Love alone remain,
And all shall join our deathless chime,
Like us the over-lords of Time.
