Stella viatoris
Language: English
Dun grows the sky; The cloudrack dark In the west hangs low. The wind moans by; The bare trees ply their futile weaving Sad and slow; But o'er the east The grim clouds part A fleece of white, A space of blue Aloft, afar, There's a single star, Like the kindness of God Shining thro'.
