First lines

Twin stars, aloft in ether clear, / Around each other roll alway, / Within one common atmosphere / Of their own mutual light and day.

And myriad happy eyes are bent / Upon their changeless love alway; / As, strengthened by their one intent, / They pour the flood of life and day.

So we through this world's waning night / May, hand in hand, pursue our way; / Shed round us order, love, and light, / And shine unto the perfect day.

1842.
