“Star of the North! while blazing day

Pours round me its full tide of light,

And hides thy pale but faithful ray,

I, too, lie hid, and long for night.

For night;—I dare not walk at noon,

Nor dare I trust the faithless moon,

Nor faithless man, whose burning lust

For gold hath riveted my chain;

No other leader can I trust

But thee, of even the starry train;
