The Astronomer Poem by John Bannister Tabb

The Astronomer



The little dome that holds the brain
Whereby he measures from afar,
The influence of steadfast star
Or moving moon and sun-
Both vaster mysteries contain
Than those he looks upon;
Nay, such the marvel that perchance
The spheres in mute amazement scan,
The while they meet his upward glance,
The deeper mind of man.
