When all the stars are sown
Across the night-blue space,
With the immense unknown,
In silence face to face.
Across the night-blue space,
With the immense unknown,
In silence face to face.
We stand in speechless awe
While Beauty marches by,
And wonder at the Law
Which wears such majesty.
While Beauty marches by,
And wonder at the Law
Which wears such majesty.
How small a thing is man
In all that world-sown vast,
That he should hope or plan
Or dream his dream could last!
In all that world-sown vast,
That he should hope or plan
Or dream his dream could last!
O doubter of the light,
Confused by fear and wrong,
Lean on the heart of night
And let love make thee strong!
Confused by fear and wrong,
Lean on the heart of night
And let love make thee strong!
The Good that is the True
Is clothed with Beauty still.
Lo, in their tent of blue,
The stars above the hill!
Is clothed with Beauty still.
Lo, in their tent of blue,
The stars above the hill!

When the sky is really dark

My backyard

Still some stars visible in the city

It's busy in the Dutch night sky

Planning is everything

Starstax comets in the cold. The battery lasted 2 hours at -30C

Looking up in a snowy forest
