A thousand stars will shimmer in the night;
'Tis magic on the mirror of the eyes
And I draw my gaze in an upward flight
To catch the spell amidst my softened sighs --
But then the rays of dawn will chase the stars
To their daily rest, and my gaze descends
As I lament with melancholy bars --
But what a false refrain! What false pretends!
For when the earthly realm I do survey
'Tis thrust upon the canvass of my mind
That ageless truth will to my heart relay
Where the stars equal low and high I find:
They ever will above, below remain -
In woman's eyes they will their spell sustain.

You have so much style. Your poetry has an old world feel...it is charming and a delight to read.
