Trillions the Stars that brush the skies
Background glory to the moon above
There is beauty in the sparkle of an eye
In Heaven she holds me to her eternal love
God saith, "Forget her as love unbourne!"
In your unmirrored heart there is a fool
But this especial Nova you must mourne
Has been taken from you in dazzling hue
And to the Earth she fell in glowing flame
No solace, "I well take her to a better place!"
Thine eyes--thy motion--to hear thy name
Forever is the void you can not replace!
