SAND AND STARS, by SHIMEON FRUG Poet's Biography First Line: Shines the moon, thee stars are glowing Last Line: The stars, the stars,—where are they, god? Alternate Author Name(s): Frug, Simeon Grigoryevich | |||
SHINES the moon, thee stars are glowing, The night sweeps on o'er hill and plain; In the tattered book before me I read, and read them once again. Ancient words of promise holy, And loud at last they speak to me "As the stars of heaven—my people And as the sand beside the sea." Lord Almighty Thou hast spoken, Unchanging is Thy holy will, Ev'rything at Thy commandment His own appointed place shall fill. Yes, dear Lord, we're sand and pebbles, We're scattered, underfoot and trod, But the stars, the bright and sparkling, The stars, the stars,—where are they, God? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NATURE AND THE POET by SHIMEON FRUG ON THE GRAVE OF MICHAEL GORDON by SHIMEON FRUG SEPULCHRE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON PSALM 104: THE MAJESTY AND MERCY OF GOD by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE THE HUDSON by GEORGE SIDNEY HELLMAN SIBERIA by JAMES CLARENCE MANGAN ODES II, 10 by QUINTUS HORATIUS FLACCUS MONNA INNOMINATA, A SONNET OF SONNETS: 4 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
