Alcyone

by ARCHIBALD LAMPMAN
OTTAWA JAMES OGILVY 1899
Edinburgh: T. and A. Constable, Printers to Her Majesty
TO THE MEMORY OF MY FATHER HIMSELF A POET WHO FIRST INSTRUCTED ME IN THE ART OF VERSE.
In the silent depth of space,
Immeasurably old, immeasurably far,
Glittering with a silver flame
Through eternity,
Rolls a great and burning star,
With a noble name,
Alcyone!
In the glorious chart of heaven
