Places among the stars

By Stephen Crane

 

Places among the stars,

Soft gardens near the sun,

Keep your distant beauty;

Shed no beams upon my weak heart.

Since she is here

In a place of blackness,

Not your golden days

Not your silver nights

Can call me to you.

Since she is here

In a place of blackness,

Here I stay and wait.
