Starlight Distilleth
Tree by tree filleth,
What do they sigh at?
Field by field thrilleth,
Low comes the fiat,
“Let him that willeth
Cease from his riot.
Starlight distilleth;
O World, be quiet!
What do they sigh at?
Field by field thrilleth,
Low comes the fiat,
“Let him that willeth
Cease from his riot.
Starlight distilleth;
O World, be quiet!
“Night the tremendous
Grasps thee and veils thee;
Slow thy stupendous
Intelligence fails thee.
Grasps thee and veils thee;
Slow thy stupendous
Intelligence fails thee.
“I, the star-crowded,
Outsoar and outsink thee;
No more care-clouded
Need'st thou bethink thee!
Outsoar and outsink thee;
No more care-clouded
Need'st thou bethink thee!
“Let my primordial
Stupor that seizes
Cure, with the cordial
For all thy diseases.”
Stupor that seizes
Cure, with the cordial
For all thy diseases.”

Field by field thrilleth—
Tree by tree filleth,
Fled is all riot.
Sleep the soul filleth,
Man no more willeth,
Starlight distilleth;
All Earth is quiet.
Tree by tree filleth,
Fled is all riot.
Sleep the soul filleth,
Man no more willeth,
Starlight distilleth;
All Earth is quiet.
