For every tiny town or place
God made the stars especially ;
Babies look up with owlish face
And see them tangled in a tree :
You saw a moon from Sussex Downs,
A Sussex moon, untravelled still,
I saw a moon that was the town’s,
The largest lamp on Campden Hill.

For every tiny town or place

God made the stars especially ;

Babies look up with owlish face

And see them tangled in a tree :

You saw a moon from Sussex Downs,

A Sussex moon, untravelled still,

I saw a moon that was the town’s,

The largest lamp on Campden Hill.
