ETCHINGS: 2. PASSAGE by CALE YOUNG RICE

First Line: A DARK SAIL
Last Line: THE EVER-RETURNING STARS.
Subject(s): MOON; NIGHT; STARS; BEDTIME;
A dark sail,
Like a wild-goose wing,
Where the sunset was.
The moon soon will silver its sinewy flight
Through the night watches,
And the far flight
Of those immortal migrants,
The ever-returning stars.
