With I casted star, and you as scope; We each hold still, a child’s hope. That surely as spring The sky will roll back The star will fall And the earth will crack. But, with truth, is the star of importance? Or a numbered pawn, For the softly spoken wish? But a thought naught many, What shall be of the star, When it’s already fallen? Lying in the dirt Having already been wished upon What love shall happen? Nothing. The wish granted, The star dying. For in the morn’, ‘Tis not my place. The star shan't get up.
