## The words

Are the stars that beam above us When the  
sunset fades from Heav’n, Shining flocks by  
Night, the Shepherd, Through the fields of  
azure driv’n?  
Are they hosts of silver lilies,  
From their crystalchaliced flow’rs Wafting  
streams of blest oblivion To this toiling  
world of ours?  
Are they myriad clust’ring candles Twinkling  
out at Heav’n’s high Altar, That across the  
dome of darkness Through the holy stillness  
falter?  
No! they are love’s silent music,  
Shining out at Heav’n’s blue portal,  
In a thousand golden cyphers, Angel written  
and im– mortal!
