The Path of the Stars

Down through the spheres that chant the Name of One

Who is the Law of Beauty and of Light

He came, and as He came the waiting Night

Shook with the gladness of a Day begun;

And as He came, He said: Thy Will Be Done

On Earth; and all His vibrant Words were white

And glistering with silver, and their might

Was of the glory of a rising sun.

Unto the Stars sang out His Living Words

White and with silver, and their rhythmic sound

Was as a mighty symphony unfurled;

And back from out the Stars like homing birds

They fell in love upon the sleeping ground

And were forever in a wakened world.
