MATINS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: STILL SING THE MORNING STARS REMOTE
Last Line: THE STARS BEGIN AGAIN.
Subject(s): BIRDS;

Still sing the morning stars remote
With echoes now unheard
Save in the scintillating note
Of some dawn-wakened bird

Whose heart, a fountain of the light,
Prolongs the limpid strain
Till on the borderland of night
The stars begin again.
