| Show THE STARS what are their years the nights unfathomed deep kings back no answer gives no glimmering kev hey and ad still unknown and beautiful they keep the silent courses of eternity what are their memories of creations days when startled chaos from its kingdom hurled burled birst knew its master and aad with glad they sang the birth song of our trembling world wt what have they looked on since with pa tient tien eyes while million years uncounted rolled away who claims antiquity for man that dies I 1 before such records of the past as they can an they to man his ry explain the why the whence of his bis uncertain state I 1 unlock the riddle that he reads in vain and clear the tangled problem of his fate T can they a fashion to the future give and tell the whither of mans anxious quest make life a less than weariness to live or stay the hazard of his wild unrest oh what midnight message do ye bear to minds mind grown weary with the years increase tim the wistful eyes that watch you shining there look out of hearts that know not peace louis H BRIND IrAy |
