SPACE by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL

First Line: BLACK, FROST-COLD DISTANCE, SPARSELY HONEYCOMBED
Last Line: WITH CIRCLING MOTES WHERE LIFE HATH LODGED AND ROAMED.

BLACK, frost-cold distance, sparsely honeycombed
With hollow shells of glimmering golden light;
Mere amber bubbles floating through the night,
Lit by one centred sparkle, azure-domed,
With circling motes where life hath lodged and roamed.
