Night thoughts
I pity you, unlucky stars,
that with such beauty you shine,
leading ships through perilous seas
while keeping no duty to god nor man.
Such beauty you will never love. You cannot know love.
Hours over eons spent spreading
your light through the vast heavens--
such a journey, just to end here:
Me, lingering in the arms of my beloved,
forgetting both of you and of midnight.
