Joel Barlow (1754–1812) American diplomat
The Conspiracy of Kings (1792)
Context: See the long pomp in gorgeous glare display'd,
The tinsel'd guards, the squadron'd horse parade;
See heralds gay, with emblems on their vest,
In tissu'd robes, tall, beauteous pages drest;
Amid superior ranks of splendid slaves,
Lords, Dukes and Princes, titulary knaves,
Confus'dly shine their crosses, gems and stars,
Sceptres and globes and crowns and spoils of wars.
Chris Rea (1951) English singer-songwriter

Joyce Kilmer Trees and Other Poems
Trees and Other Poems (1914), Delicatessen
Context: Perhaps he lives and dies unpraised,
This trafficker in humble sweets,
Because his little shops are raised
By thousands in the city streets.
Yet stars in greater numbers shine,
And violets in millions grow,
And they in many a golden line
Are sung, as every child must know.
“We all shine on… like the moon and the stars and the sun… we all shine on… come on and on and on…”
John Lennon (1940–1980) English singer and songwriter
Variant: Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
