The desire of the moth for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow.
--
One Word is Too Often Profaned, st. 2.Percy Bysshe Shelley
» Percy Bysshe Shelley - all quotes »
Days that need borrow
No part of their good morrow
From a fore-spent night of sorrow.Richard Crashaw
As long as skies are blue, and fields are green,
Evening must usher night, night urge the morrow,
Month follow month with woe, and year wake year to sorrow.Percy Bysshe Shelley
Whate’er there be of Sorrow
I’ll put off till To-morrow,
And when To-morrow comes, why then
’T will be To-day and Joy again.John Kendrick Bangs
Out among the big things —
The heights that gleam afar —
A feller gets to wonder
What means each distant star;
He may not get an answer,
But somehow, every night
He feels, among the big things,
That everything’s all right.Arthur Chapman
Ah, immortality so blind,
To dream all things with it conjoined
Must follow it from star to star
And share with it immortal years.
The memory, yearning, grief, and tears,
Fall from it and it goes afar.George William Russell
