A star has fallen, from the sky A poet’s life, has just flown by I saw it plummet, watched its plume It hit the earth, to meet its doom A sudden blaze, a flash of light Its aura arched, into the night Its light then dimmed, I saw it die A cry arose, and I know why The words this soul, would have produced Will now fall silent, and not be used BOEMS BY JA 439
