MY STAR

Robert Browning

All that I know Of a certain star Is, it can throw ( Like the angled spar )

Now a dart of red, Now a dart of blue; Till my friends have said They would fain see, too,

My star that dartles the red and the blue! Then it stops like a bird; like a flower, hangs furled: They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it. What matter to me if their star is a world?

Mine has opened its soul to me; therefore I love it.
