| When All The Stars Become A Memory | |||||||||||
| When all the stars become a memory hid in the heart of heaven; when the sun At last is resting from his weary run Sinking to glorious silence in the sea Of God's own glory: when the immensity Of Nature's universe its fate has won And its reward: when death to death is done And deathless Being's all that is to be - Your praise shall 'scape the grinding of the mills: My songs shall live to drive their blinding cars Through fiery apocalypse to Heaven's bars! When God's loosed might the prophet's word fulfils, My songs shall see the ruin of the hills, My songs shall sing the dirges of the stars. |
