STARS.
How desolate would bo the night Without those slurry jewels bright, Sot in the midnight sky. Their light, clear, sparkling and intense 1b heaven's eternal eloquence Which spoaketh from on high. ITow sad tl i 3 Hfo would be to us (As s u\ as lr from Erebus Son-o mocking friend it sent) Without the light ot' woman's eyes To brighten up life's winter skies With riulianoe lueulent. Ye ever-distant stars above, Ye were my childhood's early love Through hours of cloudless mirth ; But now, in manhood's prime, to me The eyes of woman aye shall be The glowing stars of earth. O. E. Hugo
