Starlight

A poem by Violet Nicolson, Lawrence Hope, Adela Florence Cory Nicolson (1865 – 1904)

O beautiful Stars, when you see me go

Hither and thither, in search of love,

Do you think me faithless, who gleam and glow

Serene and fixed in the blue above?

O Stars, so golden, it is not so.

But there is a garden I dare not see,

There is a place where I fear to go,

Since the charm and glory of life to me

The brown earth covered there, long ago.

O Stars, you saw it, you know, you know.

Hither and thither I wandering go,

With aimless haste and wearying fret;

In a search for pleasure and love? Not so,

Seeking desperately to forget.

You see so many, O Stars, you know.
