I looked around at the sky tonight,
At the time just before the dark.
I looked to see the stars bright;
They always thrill my heart.
I looked but the sky was bare.
It seemed I looked in vain;
As if there were no stars up there,
At least none that were plain.
But then – What I “seeked,”
A pin-hole in the sky.
As if you had a bucket that leaked,
And were searching the reason why.
And then, close, another light appeared,
Couldn’t be far.
Two, to light the night,
The duty of a star.
There must be many more out;
Now, the sky must be ablaze.
As these silently “shout,”
His glory and His praise. – eab, 3/1966
