"There will be rest,
and sure stars shining.
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reigned of rest,
Serene forgetting,
The music, the music, the music of stillness holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising.
Out of a dream in my lonely mind,
I will find a crystal of peace above me.
Stars I shall find."
