Look, the Stars!

Look, the stars and burning galaxies

That in the silver silence deck the night

With bridal sprays and shower their delight

Reflecting but the brilliance of her eyes.

For with the dawn each life begins anew.

See how these symbol flames light all our skies,

A wedding march of bright eternities

The radiant smiles of heaven's retinue.

Death is but an instant in long time.

Look to the flowers for immortality

And the mighty rivers that rush to meet the sea

And the mounting hills that ever higher climb.

This fiery orb has charged the earth with life

Yet is but cupped within her mighty hand,

Its fires burn as ours at her command.

Be not concerned with some vague afterlife,

She is our hope and last our guarantee

Who keeps the sacred promise made of old

That earth, a conscious being, she shall remould,

This world to harbour golden destiny.

We must keep the consecration of the heart,

In our divided selves a harmony

Discover the fount of human unity

That never more from Truth our souls shall part.
