Star ! Bliss Carman, 1931 Look out, dear heart, above the twilight wood ! There in the blue-gray of the winter dusk, Above the dark-lined tree-tops still with cold, The evening star in limpid glory hangs, -- In everlasting beauty as it hung Above the walls of Nineveh and Tyre, And where the Lesbian oleanders flowered, The lover's star of prophecy and peace. Ah, yes, unsullied and immortal still, It shines for you and me, and will shine on When we have left this lovely country side, Forever lighting up the dream of man, -- The star of friendship and felicity, A lamp within the entry of the night.
