LOVE IS A STAR; ROUNDEAU, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love is a star that lights the night
Last Line: Love is a star.


Love is a star that lights the night
Of life, and makes its fancies bright
As days of June with June's perfume;
A star that melts the clinging gloom
And makes the heart's dark chambers light.

To any depth, from any height
Its light doth leap; the dusk of doom
Could not its silver trace consume
Love is a star.

It shines undimmed, a beacon white
To Faith's unwavering, trustful sight.
'Mid warp and woof it findeth room
And weaves bright thoughts on Sorrow's loom
With lovestrung threads of pure delight.

Love is a star.
