First Line: The road runs up against the stars
Last Line: For I am here alone.
Subject(s): Night; Solitude; Bedtime; Loneliness
THE road runs up against the stars,
Cool stars low-swinging in the night.
The valley-guarded river gleams,
The pear-trees glimmer white.
A little wind walks in content
Along the quiet star-filled wood.
This is the very road we went
And here is where we stood.
What unseen whisperers are these
Whose voices I have always known?
Only the happy heaven-heard trees,
For I am here alone.
