The brightest of them all,You watch enraptured;
Taking in its glorious fall,
In your mind’s eye captured;
Upon it you wish with fervour,
As into oblivion it fades;
The ravages of time does devour,
As memory of it jades;
The glorious star of the sky,
Its errand, your wish to be fulfilled;
The brightest being of the galaxy;
Its life on a whim gambled!
