THISTLEDOWN: 16 by CORA RANDALL FABBRI

First Line: I DREAMT I LOVED A STAR
Last Line: "AND ONLY HERE MEN KNOW ME."

I DREAMT I loved a Star,
A Star so far above me;
She said: "It is in vain
Men seek to know and love me."

I dreamt that I was dead.
Methought that I was lying
Deep in a grave, deep down—
The winds above me sighing.

In the darkness of the grave
I saw my Star below me.
She said: "My name is Peace,
And only here men know me."
