My Star -- Robert Browning

(Poem #81)My Star
 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.
-- Robert Browning
