The Stars

The stars are so luminous and numerous tonight. Stirring that sense of wonder deep in me. A sky of the velvet springhood lavishly with light. The stars, the eternal wells of mystery I can see the ancient Greeks in total aw, like you and I. Trying to read it, the starry sky. The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion. And hydra the serpent and Leo the lion The story has been told as long as Humans have been watching the stars. The stars tell us stories, and tonight they speak of love. I see them shining bright in your blue eyes. And I've always felt our love descended from above. Like rain it was falling from the starry skies. The old Greeks and the Egyptians saw the same as you and me. We see the image we want to see. The mighty horse of Pegasus is towering before us, The bull and the maid and the Virgo and Taurus. They all come out at night along with Jupiter and Venus and Mars. The bear of Ursa major, and the hunter of Orion And Hydra the serpent and Leo the lion The story has been told as long as humans have been watching the stars The stars.
