A STARRY NIGHT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A cloud fell down from the heavens
Last Line: And all peered down to see.


A CLOUD fell down from the heavens,
And broke on the mountain's brow;
It scattered the dusky fragments
All over the vale below.

The moon and the stars were anxious
To know what its fate might be;
So they rushed to the azure op'ning,
And all peered down to see.
