THE LOST STAR by WILLIAM SHARP

First Line: A STAR WAS LOOSED FROM HEAVEN
Last Line: ON THE LIPS OF ETERNAL LIGHT.
Subject(s): ANGELS; GOD; STARS;
A star was loosed from heaven;
All saw it fall, in wonder,
Where universe clashed universe
With solar thunder.

The angels praised God's glory,
To send this beacon-flare
To show the terror of darkness
Beneath the Golden Stair.

But God was brooding only
Upon new births of light;
The star was a drop of water
On the lips of Eternal Light.
