"There will be stars"; Sara Teasdale

There will be stars over the place forever;
   Though the house we loved and the street
   we loved are lost,
Every time the earth circles her orbit
   On the night the autumn equinox is crossed,
Two stars we knew, poised on the peak of midnight
   Will reach their zenith; stillness will be deep;
There will be stars over the place forever,
   There will be stars forever, while we sleep
