Explore "The Heart of Night" by Bliss Carman on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When all the stars are sown / Across the night-blue space, / With the immense unknown, / In silence face to face.
We stand in speechless awe / While Beauty marches by, / And wonder at the Law / Which wears such majesty.
How small a thing is man / In all that world-sown vast, / That he should hope or plan / Or dream his dream could last!
O doubter of the light, / Confused by fear and wrong, / Lean on the heart of night / And let love make thee strong!
The Good that is the True / Is clothed with Beauty still. / Lo, in their tent of blue, / The stars above the hill!
