O FALLEN star! a darkened light,
A glory hurtled from its car,
Self-blasted from the holy height:
O fallen star!

Fallen beyond earth's utmost bar,
Beyond return, beyond far sight
Of outmost glimmering nebular.
Now blackness, which once walked in white;
Now death, whose life once glowed afar;
O son of dawn that loved the night,
O fallen star!
