Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;

Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;

The dome of heaven
Like a great hill.
I know I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.
– Sara Teasdale
