Tonight I came upon a star. It fell down from the Milky Way. It landed here across my path. But how it came - I cannot say.

It was a gift from Heaven's hand. He gave the star into my care. To grow it into mighty dreams. And make it fruitful year by year.

For men are stars who – bound to earth Must keep earth's boundaries a time. But after this, in bodies new We men will walk star-paths sublime.

I kept my star. Care for it well. To make it bloom and fruit each year. And hoping in immortal lands Eternal harvest reap I there.
