With pain relinquishing the magic book,
Upon the pillow laid his throbbing head,
But still, but still
The song went ever babbling like a brook.

E'en as he drifts o'er drowsiness's bar,
There lingers in his look

And wafts him into dreamland's pearly deep.
And then, O marvel! round about him lies
A subtle aqueous world, mid distant skies.

"Yet all the beauty, all the flowers
That list our love, and deck our bowers,
Adorn yon world afar, afar
The wandering star."
The poet describes the star as:
"A sun new-born, as time rolled to and fro,
A distant stellular gleam,
A glow,
A blinding light,
Mystery swift, illumining our night,
A sweet sidereal stranger passing by,
Shining a while, incomparably bright,
The wonder of the sky,
Then fading from terrestrial sight."

Of melody in woodland rill.

Of melody in woodland rill.'"

'Yon world afar, afar
The wandering star.'"
