QUATRAIN: THE STARS by MADISON JULIUS CAWEIN

First Line: THESE - THE BRIGHT SYMBOLS OF MAN'S HOPE AND FAME
Last Line: IN THE VAST UTTERANCE OF THE UNIVERSE.
Subject(s): STARS;

These -- the bright symbols of man's hope and fame,
In which he reads his blessing or his curse --
Are syllables with which God speaks his name
In the vast utterance of the universe.
