\nFrom Voices of the Night<\/em>, 1839<\/strong>
\nBy Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnd sinking silently,
\nAll silently, the little moon
\nDrops down behind the sky.
\nThere is no light in earth or heaven
\nBut the cold light of stars;
\nAnd the first watch of night is given
\nTo the red planet Mars.
\nIs it the tender star of love?
\nThe star of love and dreams?
\nO no! from that blue tent above,
\nA hero\u2019s armor gleams.
\nAnd earnest thoughts within me rise,
\nWhen I behold afar,
\nSuspended in the evening skies,
\nThe shield of that red star.
\nO star of strength! I see thee stand
\nAnd smile upon my pain;
\nThou beckonest with thy mailed hand,
\nAnd I am strong again.
\nWithin my breast there is no light
\nBut the cold light of stars;
\nI give the first watch of the night
\nTo the red planet Mars.
\nThe star of the unconquered will,
\nHe rises in my breast,
\nSerene, and resolute, and still,
\nAnd calm, and self-possessed.
\nAnd thou, too, whosoe\u2019er thou art,
\nThat readest this brief psalm,
\nAs one by one thy hopes depart,
\nBe resolute and calm.
\nO fear not in a world like this,
\nAnd thou shalt know erelong,
\nKnow how sublime a thing it is
\nTo suffer and be strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
