Oh, to be a constellation together with...
Language: English
Oh, to be a constellation together with you!
Of Jonathan-and-David,
Of David-and-Jonathan;
To be a joint incandescence in the blue-black arch of space,
To be a sparkling star chart for sailors in their surging ships,
To be a source of comfort and awe for wanderers in the desert,
To be a revelation for dancing shepherd-poets,
To be intermingled with you throughout the grand span of ancient time,
To be a band of blended, fragrant stars upon the prow of earth,
A standard carried before legions
And revered as an absolute truth
That teaches the world belonging-to-belonging.
