I wonder, wonder how the stars, the silent stars
Open their casements on the sea to look
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven’s silent face at night.
I wonder how the Night aloft his car
With trembling hands of fondness light
All everyone by one and one by one
The giddying stars all diademed at night:
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven’s silent face at night.
I wonder how the Night alighting stars
Lifts gently each by each imperceptible
And breaks none in placing back again
Like diadems of east in their due niche:
Without a rustle, without a noise, without
A break in heaven’s silent face at night.
Emmanuel George Cefai
