VI Stars

They glide upon their endless way,
  For ever calm, for ever bright;
No blind hurry, no delay,
  Mark the Daughters of the Night:
They follow in the track of Day,
  In divine delight.

Shine on, sweet orbed Souls for aye,
  For ever calm, for ever bright:
We ask not whither lies your way,
  Nor whence ye came, nor what your light.
Be—still a dream throughout the day,
  A blessing through the night.

B. Cornwall
