by Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967)

Language: English 
Bend low again, night of summer stars.
So near you are, sky of summer stars,
So near, a long arm man can pick off stars,
Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl,
So near you are, summer stars,
So near, strumming, strumming,
  So lazy and hum-strumming.

Composition:

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "Summer stars", 2010 [ medium voice or high voice and piano ]
