Love
Stars at Dawn
From Underneath the Bough (1898)
Love
Stars at break of day
Rushing to your rhythmic play
Round the sun so far away,
Pray for me as ye dance and bound,
Skimming the sky with a lovely sound.
Pray for me, as in a ring
To the crystal light ye sing,
That the image of your glee
May at heart give peace to me!
