FALLING STARS.
Oh! never call it love that wanes—that flies;—
Ne'er call it love that changes and that dies!
Essentially eternal,—'tis still known
By changeless truth—by fixed continuance shown.
Ne'er call it love that changes and that dies!
Essentially eternal,—'tis still known
By changeless truth—by fixed continuance shown.

The stars of Heaven in deathless triumph reign,—
No sun may pass—no constellation wane.
We know, when lights that looked like suns—once fall,
That they were not, could not be stars at all.
No sun may pass—no constellation wane.
We know, when lights that looked like suns—once fall,
That they were not, could not be stars at all.
