I’ve Nothing Else to Bring, You Know - meaning Summary

Offering Small Gifts

The poem presents a speaker who acknowledges having only humble, repeated offerings to give. She compares these small gifts to the night bringing familiar stars, suggesting comfort in routine and modest contribution. The speaker proposes that such continual, ordinary returns are acceptable; it is the absence of these constancies that would unsettle and disorient, leaving one to “find our way Home.” The tone is resigned yet quietly consoling.
