Stars Analysis

Author: Poetry of Sarah Teasdale Type: Poetry Views: 2766

Alone in the night

On a dark hill

With pines around me

Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars

Over my head,

White and topaz

And misty red;

Myriads with beating

Hearts of fire

That aeons

Cannot vex or tire;

Up the dome of heaven

Like a great hill,

I watch them marching

Stately and still,

And I know that I

Am honored to be

Witness

Of so much majesty.

.: :.

I had to memorize this poem as a junior high school student in the early 1960's I still have in burned in my memory today and recite it eventhough 40+ years have passed. I always thought it meant the obvious..."you can see the stars better and night than in the day...especially when on a hill far away from city lights". No that is not it. with the death of my mother-in-law I have come to believe it means, "when things are darkest in your life, you can see the spiritual presence of god and the heavens more clearly than ever.
