SATURN

By Alfred Noyes

And deeper yet, like molten opal shining

My belt of rainbow glory softly streams.

And seven white moons around me intertwining

Hide my vast beauty in a mist of dreams.

Huge is my orbit; and your flickering planet

A mote that flecks your sun, that faint white star;

Yet, in my magic pools, I still can scan it;

For I have ways to look on worlds afar.
