First Line: Through night's dark veil of shadow-lace
Last Line: From suns that move beyond the tomb.
Subject(s): Sky
Through night's dark veil of shadow-lace
The sky reveals in starry frame
Bright constellations that embrace
The beauty born of fog and flame.
They signal triumph over time --
The mystery of change and chances
Beyond the bourn of pantomime
And passing meteoric lances.
The morning hour knows not the spell
Of starlit arrows piercing gloom,
Releasing light where shadows dwell
From suns that move beyond the tomb.
