Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Good choice.
McF
reminds me of
"....A stargazer am I
It seems that I was born
To chart the evening sky.... " :)
Beautiful.
Lovely.

Whether stars give a damn or not,
I know there is one who'll know
that I give an awful lot
more than I'd ever care to show.
