The day I came it welcomed me
As it had all, when first He sang
Far straighter then than any tree
Unmarred by winter's biting fang

Unmarred it was, but clothed in frost
Its fiery spirit burning bright
A welcome sight to all the lost
The silent sentry of the night.

A silent sentry in its place
Enduring longer than the crown
Till day when Father Time awakes
And all the stars have fallen down.

When falling from the heaven's dome
And looking down, the stars shall see
A burning light to guide them home
Unchanged from when it welcomed me
