First Line: Stars begin heaping / the moon creeps high
Last Line: The star winds blow.
Subject(s): Day
Stars begin heaping,
The moon creeps high,
Land breezes on water,
Night is night.
Shadows no longer,
Somewhere a sigh,
A willow is weeping,
A day gone by.
Is there an after?
Needless suppose,
Dawn is all laughter,
Night -- repose.
God is in keeping,
Mother may go,
Baby is sleeping,
The star winds blow.
