Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven; If in our bright leaves we would read the fate Of men and empires--'t is to be forgiven, That in our aspirations to be great, Our destinies o'erleap their mortal state, And claim a kindred with you; for ye are A beauty and a mystery, and create In us such love and reverence from afar, That fortune, fame, power, life, have nam'd themselves a star. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron) The blue, deep, glorious heavens!--I lift mine eye, And bless thee, O my God! that I have met And own'd thine image in the majesty Of their calm temple still! that never yet There hath thy face been shrouded from my sight By noontide blaze, or sweeping storm of night! I bless thee, O my God! - Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans But the day is spent; And stars are kindling in the firmament, To us how silent--though like ours, perchance, Busy and full of life and circumstance. - Samuel Rogers This prospect vast, what is it?--weigh'd aright, 'Tis nature's system of divinity, And every student of the night inspires.
