STARLIGHT, by                    
First Line: The stars / are numberless
Last Line: Believe in it.
Alternate Author Name(s): Upper, Joseph
Subject(s): Hope; Life; Stars; Optimism


The stars
Are numberless;
They are scattered thoughts of noble spirits,
Redeeming from insane futility
The blinding turmoil of an ugly world.

When I have turned my back upon my hopes,
I shall not curse life,
Because the stars
Believe in it.
