Det blinker en enlig stjerne over de mørke træ'r, den blinker og brænder så sælsomt med skært og skiftende skær. Den blåner og blusser blodig af nattedybderne frem, jeg såe den så mangen aften funkle over mit hjem. Mit hjem, mit hjem i det fjærne og drømmenes sunkne skat. Min ungdoms skælvende stjerne i længslernes lyse nat.
