Context: Eyes forward! Sing a paean to the light
That God gives us to net the distant stars
In eyes that once were blinded with black earth.

For aught but war. Yet God, in His great love,
Has cleared our eyes and given a hint of Power.
“Look out upon the stars, my love,
And shame them with thine eyes.”
Edward Coote Pinkney (1802–1828) American poet, lawyer, sailor, professor, and editor
