A Star May Set

Those eyes look in upon my soul And ask me questions I would fain ignore; How can I tell them of my poor control That stalks me through some inner door?

Those eyes look in upon my heart And try to probe the number of its beats; How can I dare destroy the tears that start, How can I speak of Life and its defeats?

Those eyes look words I cannot answer yet: Perhaps this universe or distant space Will sometime shed a light—a star may set, And bursting, show to us a trysting place.
