One of the poems I memorized as a child, it paints a picture of the awe and wonder of a star-filled night — something everyone can't see, especially with light pollution and air pollution. So if you haven't met Sara Teasdale, let me introduce her...Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
Stars
Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,
And a heaven full of stars
Over my head
White and topaz
And misty red;
Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
The aeons
Cannot vex or tire;
Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill
I watch them marching
Stately and still.
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.

This is a fascinating book. I mentioned it in:
THE NATURE COURSE
PART 2, MESSAGE 17
You are Stardust
You are Golden
You are made of flowers
