Places among the stars, Soft gardens near the sun, Keep your distant beauty; Shed no beams upon my weak heart. Since she is here In a place of blackness, Not your golden days Nor your silver nights Can call me to you. Since she is here In a place of blackness, Here I stay and wait |
The beginning of this poem reminds me of "Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This book talks about the stars and gives many insights into a child's mind but also most of the lessons are for adults and the book has very deep lassons to teach. If you get the chance read this book some day, you may be surprised by the simplistic way which Antoine opens your eyes. The second part of this poem is about a man waiting for the wonam which he loves but she this is unbeknownst to her. He is waiting for her to find him his the darkness of his despair of his love for her.
