Trusting to one false star above;
And fling her little chance away
Of sunshine for its treacherous ray.”

Context: p>The light came through the window,
Straight from the sun above,
And so inside my little room
There plunged the rays of Love.In streams of light I clearly saw
The dust you seldom see,
Out of which the Nameless makes
A Name for one like me.</p
