And weary from hardship and turmoil

So that light can console you in your luminous journey

You travel among stars that are not kept company
You travel among stars that have no company

Your eye found nothing to draw its attention,
Your eye has not met what would entice its attention
And found no change in its journey by night.
Nor found in its hiddenness any change
