She was blistering white
Heaven’s finest
We trembled at her sight
And yet her beauty
Illuminated the night
So stellar, so bright
Her power cascaded
Across our unredeemed shore
She gave us her mercy
We clamoured for more
Her silvery voice
We could not ignore
But moments we saw her
Before she was gone
All these truths we inferred
And that we were wrong
We never averred
It just never occurred
