The skies are strown with stars

F. Hart

The skies are strown with stars,

The streets are fresh with dew

A thin moon drifts to westward,

The night is hushed and cheerful.

My thought is quick with you.

Near windows gleam and laugh,

And far away a train

Clanks glowing through the stillness:

A great content's in all things,

And life is not in vain.
