Night Thoughts

OH,unhappy stars!your fate I mourn,

Ye by whom the sea-toss’d sailor’s lighted,

Who with radiant[219]beams the heav’ns adorn，

But by gods and men are unrequited：

For ye love not,-ne’er have learnt to love!

Ceaselessly in endless dance ye move,(https://www.daowen.com)

In the spacious sky your charms displaying,

What far travels ye have hasten’d through,

Since,within my loved one’s arms delaying,

I’ve forgotten you and midnight too!
