Which lines in this excerpt from the poem "A Grain of Sand" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper indicates its subject?

Do you see this grain of sand
Lying loosely in my hand?
Do you know to me it brought
Just a simple loving thought?
When one gazes night by night
On the glorious stars of light,
Oh how little seems the span
Measured round the life of man.

Answer:

Oh how little seems the span

Measured round the life of man

Step-by-step explanation:

Man has next to no to do with the magnificence of the night and how the stars sparkle brilliantly despite the fact that they are a large number of miles away and have done as such for billions of years.
