Ambition, and Other Poems/A Silver Wonder

​
A Silver Wonder
Shall I this night, amazed and full of wonder, Forget the Heavens and worship this new toy;Shall betray the stars and fall before A strange new Image, with a greater joy?Caught in the searchlights' fingers, gleaming bright, A silver wonder, with a strange device,Has made the stars, the great eternal stars, Peep out of their dark holes like timid mice!
