1314. Stella

By Charles Henry Crandall


HOME from the observatory,
Now I take her on my knee,
And I tell her all the glory
That the lenses showed to me.
Pleased, she listens to my story,	5
Earnest look then turneth she

Where the stars are softly blinking
In the blue of summer skies.
Ah! she sees beyond my thinking,
Even into Paradise!	10
Very humbly I am drinking
What o’erfloweth from her eyes.
