George Sterling

O Space and Time and stars at strife,

— George Sterling

The pathway traced with blood and tears,

— George Sterling

The candle glimmers but an hour. The night

— George Sterling

Till her appointed course be run;

— George Sterling

As a breath on glass, -

— George Sterling

And starward drifts the stricken world,

— George Sterling

Be sure that head and heart were laid

— George Sterling

A little while, their hunger unfulfilled,

— George Sterling

The candle glimmers but an hour. The night
