KIN, by ADELINE M. JENNEY
First Line: I know the names of all great stars
Last Line: To go and join you trooping by!
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
First Line: I know the names of all great stars
Last Line: To go and join you trooping by!
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness
I know the names of all great stars
That move across the midnight sky,
But I am caged within a house
And may not see them trooping by;
I know the names of child and man
That pass to school or work each day,
But I am walled by little cares
And do not greet them on their way.
O splendor of the unveiled night,
A radiance of the friendly eye,
Why have I neither will nor wit
To go and join you trooping by!
