Here you will find the Poem Starlight At Sea of poet Katharine Lee Bates
OVER the murmurous choral of dim waves The constellations glow against the soft Ethereal dusk, ?forever fair, aloft, Serene, while man climbs painfully from caves To cities, clamorous cities, life that raves Like surf against the rocks. It is not oft Our cities glimpse the stars, their luster scoffed Away by low, hard glitter that outbraves Night's blessing of the dark. But here upon Mid-ocean, all whose muffled voices ring A rapture lost to our vexed human wills, We see the primal radiance that shone On chaos, ?see the young God shepherding His gleaming flocks on the empurpled hills.
