The Infinite Shining Heavens

Robert Louis Stevenson(1850–1894)

1896

The infinite shining heavensRose and I saw in the nightUncountable angel starsShowering sorrow and light.

I saw them distant as heaven,Dumb and shining and dead,And the idle stars of the nightWere dearer to me than bread.

Night after night in my sorrowThe stars stood over the sea,Till lo! I looked in the duskAnd a star had come down to me.
