I scarce could see the rainbow's hue
Through teardrops in my eyes
Nor hear the skylark singing sweet
In soft and sapphire skies
O heavy was my heart, as then
All hope seemed cast away -
Upon the windows of my soul
The light no more did play
But still there seemed a gentle glow
In distant reaches set
As there a lone star shone above
To herald fortune yet
I pondered thus upon the scene
All fixed before my sight
An awesome feeling stirred within -
Such wonder and delight
How could this star yet move me so
To set my soul aflame -
Why should it ever steal the void
And reap all heav'n's acclaim
(There be a tale from ages passed
Of such a star, so fine,
Which then, ‘tis said, resplendent shone
Upon the land, divine)
What story do you deem to tell
What secrets do you hold -
To render hope, are you set there,
And all true dreams unfold
O star that gleams beyond, above,
On high for all to see
Bestow your grace across the world
Upon humanity
