A Silver Wonder

Shall I this night, amazed and full of wonder,

Forget he heavens and worship this new toy;

Shall I betray the stars and fall before

A strange new image, with a greater joy?

Caught in the seachlights' fingers, gleaming bright,

A silver wonder, with a strange device,

Has made the stars, the great eternal stars,

Peep out of their dark holes like timid mice!
