See how calmly star and star

1 See how calmly star and star
Through the heavens are wheeling;
As we view them near or far,
Harmony revealing!
See how calmly o'er the green
Silvery streams are flowing!
Imaged there the stars are seen,
Brightly, calmly glowing.

2 Earth and heaven send forth a voice:
"Now be discord ended,
Live in peace, in love rejoice,
Heart and heart be blended."
So our life shall gently pass,
Like the peaceful river,--
And then, like the stars, at last,
We shall shine forever.
