In the silent depth of space	A
Immeasurably old immeasurably far	B
Glittering with a silver flame	C
Through eternity	D
Rolls a great and burning star	B
With a noble name	C
Alcyone	E
	-
In the glorious chart of heaven	E
It is marked the first of seven	E
'Tis a Pleiad	F
And a hundred years of earth	G
With their long forgotten deeds have come and gone	E
Since that tiny point of light	H
Once a splendour fierce and bright	H
Had its birth	G
In the star we gaze upon	E
	-
It has travelled all that time	I
Thought has not a swifter flight	H
Through a region where no faintest gust	J
Of life comes ever but the power of night	H
Dwells stupendous and sublime	I
Limitless and void and lonely	D
A region mute with age and peopled only	D
With the dead and ruined dust	J
Of worlds that lived eternities ago	K
	-
Man when thou dost think of this	L
And what our earth and its existence is	M
The half blind toils since life began	E
The little aims the little span	E
With what passion and what pride	N
And what hunger fierce and wide	N
Thou dost break beyond it all	O
Seeking for the spirit unconfined	P
In the clear abyss of mind	P
A shelter and a peace majestical	O
For what is life to thee	D
Turning toward the primal light	H
With that stern and silent face	A
If thou canst not be	D
Something radiant and august as night	H
Something wide as space	A
	-
Therefore with a love and gratitude divine	E
Thou shalt cherish in thine heart for sign	E
A vision of the great and burning star	B
Immeasurably old immeasurably far	B
Surging forth its silver flame	C
Through eternity	D
And thine inner heart shall ring and cry	Q
With the music strange and high	Q
The grandeur of its name	C
Alcyone	E
