Starry Sky ~ A Poem by Pieter Cornelis Boutens

Starry Sky

Pieter Cornelis Boutens

Now you can go to sleep safely,
Now all the heavens are open:
Soul, whose longing oak dark walls
In star to star burns transparently,
And in the beauty of this temporary land
Your eternal fate must already be loved,
As your delight looks to
The throne of God.
