STARS by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALONE IN THE NIGHT
Last Line: Of so much majesty
Subject(s): STARS;
Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;

Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;

Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
