    The More Loving One

    The More Loving One
                                     W. H. Auden (1907-1973)

    Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
    That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
    But on earth indifference is the least,
    We have to dread from man or beast.

    How should we like it were stars to burn
    With a passion for us we could not return?
    If equal affection cannot be,
    Let the more loving one be me.

    Admirer as I think I am
    Of stars that do not give a damn,
    I cannot, now I see them, say
    I missed one terribly all day.

    Were all stars to disappear or die,
    I should learn to look at an empty sky
    And feel its total dark sublime,
    Though this might take me a little time.
