VI. Wind and Stars | | By Isa (Craig) Knox (1831–1903) |
| | | THE STARS are shining fixt and bright, | |
| I stand upon the windy height, | |
| Alone with sorrow and the night. | |
| |
| O stars so high, from earth apart, | |
| Ye are the hopes that stirred my heart; | 5 |
| O wind, its beating wings thou art. | |
| |
| The wind may rave, the starry spheres | |
| Unheeding shine, nor moved by fears | |
| Nor shaken into trembling tears. | |
| |
| O hush, wild heart, regarded not, | 10 |
| Sink to the level of thy lot, | |
| In pity sink, and be forgot. | | | | |
