Life in space

Raven M 1951 (Salem)



The earth shadowed, encored the night
the moon was horned with stars bedlight;
The twinkling stars in darkness shone
On roof of night as jasmines blown!

I found myself on Earth's surface
The stars amidst living in space;
Embraced in macrocosmic grace
To be the part of human race

In vast Universe the Earth is wee
Like myriad stars fartherest from me-
The part and parcel of space I be
And master of cosmos naturally

Prithee O Lord, to bestow these-
The friendship, love, mercy and peace;
Distune the harms to lives on Earth
Until I leave the frames on death
