Under the Starlight.
Yon glorious stars, that night by night go down
From the dark world come night by night again.
Not so, alas! the spirits of renown
Who vanish in Death's all-engulfing main.
From the dark world come night by night again.
Not so, alas! the spirits of renown
Who vanish in Death's all-engulfing main.
On what dim seas do they arise and shine?
In what far countries soothe the eyes of sleep?
In what vast orbit round the Light Divine
Do souls, here setting, luminously sweep?

In what vast orbit round the Light Divine
Do souls, here setting, luminously sweep?
