In the stars we have seen the strangeness of our state
XII
In the stars we have seen the strangeness of our state;
Wisdomless men, we have lifted up our eyes:
From the stars we have asked an augury of our fate,
And our speech has made them symbols of the wise.
O star that youth's awakening eyes have seen,
Sustain us in our nearness to the night:
And you, O storm-hid Hesperus, make serene
Our loss of this loved heritage of light.

Sustain us in our nearness to the night:
And you, O storm-hid Hesperus, make serene
Our loss of this loved heritage of light.
