The Stars and I
by R. P. LISTER
IMMENSE the stars are, and immense the sky,
And very, most exceeding small am I;
Sometimes I think, as through the night I lurch,
That I am like a tiny flea in church.
And very, most exceeding small am I;
Sometimes I think, as through the night I lurch,
That I am like a tiny flea in church.
Yet other times I seem extremely big,
A kind of mammoth, or at least a pig;
Then, I conceive the stars as very small
Or else I do not see the stars at all.
A kind of mammoth, or at least a pig;
Then, I conceive the stars as very small
Or else I do not see the stars at all.
