CAELI by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON

First Line: IF STARS WERE REALLY WATCHING EYES
Last Line: I COULD NOT FEEL MORE FAR AWAY.
Subject(s): ANGELS; STARS;
IF stars were really watching eyes
Of angel armies in the skies,
I should forget all watchers there,
And only for your glances care.

And if your eyes were really stars,
With leagues that none can mete for bars
To keep me from their longed-for day,
I could not feel more far away.
