<h3><i>Étoiles d’Enfer</i></h3>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">The four wide winds of evening have their stars,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Fashioned in fire, in purity of snow,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Tossed to their height by endless avatars—<br/></span>
<span class="i2">These all the righteous know.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">What of the stars of Hades? On the gloom<br/></span>
<span class="i2">The outcast see them shine like angels’ eyes,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And in the living night that is their tomb<br/></span>
<span class="i2">They dream of Paradise.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">They know the stars of Hades. They are deeds,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Wickedly born, which came to good at last—<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Fair blossoms spring from villany of weeds,<br/></span>
<span class="i2">Rest—and redeem the past.<br/></span></div>
