BEAUTIFUL STARS.

 

Oh, beautiful bright stars,
⁠How very small you are.
Once you used to give me pleasure,
Once you used to give me pleasure,
⁠The whole live-long evening.

One of you the brightest,
⁠The glorious morning star,
Followed me with its golden light,
Followed me with its golden light,
⁠To the home of my love.

Moon amidst the high clouds,
⁠How far off you are!
So far off is my beloved one,
So far off is my beloved one,
⁠From my reach as you are.
