Looking up at the stars, I know quite well ,
That， for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least ,
We have to dread from man or beast.
How should we like it were stars to burn , 【外语教育*网编辑整理 www.for68.com】
With a passion for us we could not return？
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.
Admirer as I think I am ,
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them , say
I missed one terribly all day.
Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky ,
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.
