I know the stars by their names,Aldebaran, Altair,And I know the path they takeUp heaven's broad blue stair.I know secrets of menBy the look of their eyes,Their gray thoughts, their strange thoughtsHave made me sad and wise.But your eyes are dark to meThough they seem to call and call–I cannot tell if you love meOr do not love me at all.I know many things,But the years come and go,I shall die not knowingThe thing I long to know.
