by Stephen Crane (1871 - 1900)
Places Among the Stars
Language: English
Places among the stars, Soft gardens near the sun, Keep your distant beauty; Shed no beams upon my weak heart. Since she is here In a place of blackness, Not your golden days Not your silver nights Can call me to you. Since she is here In a place of blackness, Here I stay and wait.
