Analysis of Night Stars

As I peer out through the blackened veil,
this night time cloth of light travails,
and who am I to see at all?
and what are stars that seem so small?

Cloudy wrestling swirling by,
sparkling diamonds far too high,
whirling clouds that hide the sky,
whilst cosmic ray beams try to spy.

Diamonds of the solar crown,
godly orbs that do not frown,
upon our small and mortal town,
whilst hiding under eiderdowns.

So what are these and who is there?
and why at night time do we stare?
at cosmic stars that will not share,
the solar truth: they would not dare!
