The stated stanza is an Extract from the the poem "Stars are Sure Bright Tonight" which has been skillfully composed by the poet Sir Mark 'Shi'. The poet describes a sight of stars he witnessed on a clear, moonless night while he worked hard.
Stars are a natural beauty of this universe. One can wonder why the sky still remains dark and does not light up with the magnificence of stars. Stars are stationary bodies which gives off light and are located at great distances from earth, but it's an unaccountable gift that not all stars are out of the reach of the human eyes. The poet describes that the stars shine awful bright light. Man has always taken many things for granted, and not all can truly understand the meaning behind saying that the moon is beautiful yet here lies a message contained in the next lines, which are:
On the yard I own
And the plow I work
The poet states that he's working on the yard he owns. He understands that he must work on his own to succeed, a reality many know but do not act upon. He works at night while many people sleep ignorant of the unsung labour of such people. It's human nature to want to be ahead, but the poet strives for self satisfaction. As he rests for a moment, he see the stars, shining beautifully. He little thinks what wealth he's being shown and resumes to work.
If we notice, the poet's message is plain: Hard work is the key to success, but the main aim of any achievement is that should be obtained by honest means only. Some things might try to impede our progress, but we might as well witness some truly great moments, such as the shining stars on the nights the poet works.
