Nature

Stars

by Madison Cawein 1865–1914

From Blooms of the Berry (1887)

Nature

The fields of space gleam bright, as if some ancient giant, old
As the moon and her extinguished mountains,
Had dipped his fingers huge into the twilight's sea of gold
And sprinkled all the heavens from these fountains.
