IN SHADOW by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HEEDS YONDER STAR THY SONG
Last Line: "APPEARS A STAR."
Subject(s): BIRDS;

Heeds yonder star thy song,
O warbler of the night?
"I know not, for the way is long
That leads unto the light.
But as the music of the spheres
A twinkling silence here appears,
Perchance my warbling from afar
Appears a star."
