Poems by Henry Septimus Sutton | ||
Did any of the stars reply
To this poor braggart of the sky?
With lofty joy I saw them keep
A silence strenuously deep.
They heeded not the scornful tongue;
But each, his family among,
On his dark planet-children glowed,
And in the God-appointed road,
With faithful heart and watchful eye,
Led on his darlings through the sky.
To this poor braggart of the sky?
With lofty joy I saw them keep
A silence strenuously deep.
They heeded not the scornful tongue;
But each, his family among,
On his dark planet-children glowed,
And in the God-appointed road,
With faithful heart and watchful eye,
Led on his darlings through the sky.
