Places Among the Stars
Places Among the Stars - meaning Summary
Love Binds to Darkness
The speaker addresses distant, radiant places—gardens near the sun—and refuses their allure because a beloved occupies a darker, nearer realm. The poem frames loyalty and attachment as tethering forces: despite the promise of beauty and light elsewhere, the speaker stays in a place of blackness where the loved one is present. It emphasizes presence over idealized distant splendor and accepts remaining in darkness rather than seeking remote brightness.

Since she is here In a place of blackness, Not your golden days Nor your silver nights Can call me to you. Since she is here In a place of blackness, Here I stay and wait
