Lyrics Starlight Night - Merz

Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
Oh look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!
The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abels set on a flare!
Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!˜
Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.
Buy then! bid then!˜what?˜prayer, patience, alms, vows.
Look, look: a may-mess, like on orchard boughs!
Look! march-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
These are indeed the barn; within doors house
The shocks. this peace-bright paling shuts the spouse
Christ home, christ and his mother and all his hallows.
