Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars
Over my head
White and topaz
And misty red;
Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
The aeons
Cannot vex or tire;
Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill
I watch them marching
Stately and still.
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
Stars is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. Sara I will always consider a great poet!
this sentiment is wonderfully universal Rumi Attar Hafez Shakespeare whitman Jonson
I think y'all should make this poem smaller because we have to memorize it.
