First Line: The swift world changes. Still from sun to sun
Last Line: Unchanging shine the everlasting stars.
Subject(s): Stars
The swift world changes. Still from sun to sun
The heart's young laughter trembles into tears
While singing lips fall silent. One by one
The hours are blindly gathered to the years.
Across the May, on bright boughts consecrate
To beauty, lies the shadow of mistrust;
Not love itself can hold inviolate
The dream from slow corruption of the dust.
Only the stars abide: -- imperishable,
Forever constant through the inconstant night;
Only the stars serene and beautiful;
In our unquiet dark their quiet light.
Still, still shine on Arcturus -- Vega -- Mars ...
Unchanging shine the everlasting stars.
