Wherever you will go
Be it the endless red rift of Mars,
And Crevices of 'canos long extinct.
With Mountains Black and High!
A world of scarlet sands
And bleeding skies.

Be it the silver clouded galaxies
Or Worlds between.

Rather be it Heaven's wide
Or Hell beneath:

Wherever you will go I will go;
Following you to the ends of Creation
And beyond the star-clad skies
Of Alien worlds. I will go.
Wherever you will go
Forevermore!
Mighty Monarch of young Earth
Black against the Rising Sun!
Your Voice like THUNDER, Shook the Hills!
You Roared to greet the Terrible Dawn!!!

Yours was the way of strength and size!
Of prideful being and fright-full might!
We tiny Shrews who ****** your eggs
Ran like frightened Lunar Shadows at the
Coming of the Light!

You couldn't comprehend your fate
Or to the heights those little Mice would RISE
That we who cowered beneath your feet
Would grow to soar through Alien Skies!

We couldn't comprehend our fate.
We ran to flee the Dangerous Morn!
Oh that such shivery-little-nothing-beasts
Would roar to greet a Different Dawn
Oh white goddess 
of the Heavens!
We beseech thee…

With only the Orb of the Night 
To light my path, 
I set out on my long journey.
 My faithful Horse.....

Man land on the MOON! 
You read that crazy Science Fiction junk?!

They can land a Man on the Moon So why can't they....
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
That calls us to the Stars!
The Grace that's guided planet Earth
Will guide us on Red Mars.

And we'll have time to see the Stars
And tread on countless Worlds,
Each one of them a masterpiece 
A Billion Precious pearls! 

Its grace that keeps our star ships safe
To soar in peace through Space. 
It's grace that keeps our planets safe 
From wars and poisoning hate.

Grace will guide our Starships out!
And guide our Starships home!
And Grace will guard us everywhere
That Sentients need to roam!
I searched out the Universe. 

All the realms of Eternity! 
All the places of Infinity! 
I searched out the sweet,
 Smelling planets,
The silver and red and gold
And diamond stars
That echo on forever with their light.
 

I searched out the.

Mountains of Mars!


The coughing dust storms 
That whirl around on Venus!

I peered into the angry eye of Jupiter!

I caught up with the asteroids;
I searched them.

I ran and caught the satellites of Saturn.
 But He was not there.

I called out to Andromeda!

I pierced the Ring Nebula
And the Horse Head with my eyes!

All in vain!
I pleaded with the Seven Sisters.

I stood up to Orion.
I petted his Dog.
I feared his Lion
And searched out all
The Milky Way.

I hunted the Great Bear and the Little Bear.

I captured Cygnus the Swan in my nets.

The Great Ram 
And Proud White Pegasus
I ran down and captured.

I called out to all the Galaxies


To all the Constellations:

I pleaded with the STARS

But they were dumb.

And finally when I searched out 
All of these....
And found Him not,
I looked inside myself
And found Him in my heart.
May the dew of the morning
Shine in your eyes!
May the Winds of the Stars 
Blow through your hair!
May the White Bird of Heaven
Alight upon you.. 
And the Star of the Earth
Turn your cheeks 
Golden with its kiss!

May you become more beautiful 
With every movement of the stars! 
May your joys rise up in abundance 
And flow like the Mountain Springs! 

For I love you
As the Dawn loves the Mountains! 
And I will be with you forever. 
Till the Live Worlds lose their orbits
 And the Universe is cracked in two 
By the ending of Eternity!
Like a churning pail of milk,
Shining in the greyish Sky,
What are you my ancient Moon,
Up above my World so high?

Haunting Beauty of a World,
Glorious Globe of silent light,
Older than our own dear Earth,
Shining silver in the night!

Who made you my Pretty One?
Did our God cause you to shine?
Making all the Universe
Painted pictures in His Mind!

Orb of Mystery! Orb of Joy!
Orb that awed our ancient Man!
Orb that turns the dark country
Into a shining, silver land!
