My Star
Language: English
I dreamt I loved a Star, A Star so far above me; She said: "It is in vain, Men seek to know and love me." I dreamt that I was dead. Methought that I was lying Deep in a grave, deep down The winds above me sighing. In the darkness of the grave I saw my Star below me. She said: "My name is Peace, And only here men know me."
