p. oemS STAR OF THE NORTH Not a sparkling star in the Milky Way, But yet a star shining night and day} To a great many souls it has served as guide To find their path to the other Side. When days are grey and in vain you try To go your way with your head held high} For the light of peace for which you look forth, Why not head straight fop the Star of the North ?
