| V is for Venus written by William Henry Davies |
| From "A Poet's Alphabet", 1925 | Link to further information |
Is that star dumb, or am I deaf?
Hour after hour I listen here
To catch the lovely music played
By Venus down the evening air.
Before the other stars come out,
Before the Moon is in her place -
I sit and watch those fingers move,
And mark the twitching of her face.
Hour after hour I strain my ears
For lovely notes that will not come:
Is it my mortal flesh that's deaf,
Or that long-fingered star that's dumb?
