SUN OR SATELLITE?, by                    
First Line: Shall we walk by the stars instead of the sun?
Last Line: Love-light, as the compass, is guide night and day.
Subject(s): Light; Love; Stars; Sun


SHALL we walk by the stars instead of the sun?
Falling down in the dark, — never able to run?
Shall Eternal Light more than plain daylight afford
Us the knowledge we seek and the Spirit's strong sword?
Nay and Yea! Fellow man! Neither light can we lose;
But sea-captains know all is dark if we choose
The wise compass to scorn; neither stars nor the sun
Then avail; Inner Light, Love! doth light every one —
Whether running or walking or at play, —
Love-light, as the compass, is guide night and day.
