Whose calling woke me as I slept' One star for I must chase :ts light Beyond the day across the night Until I catch my tate and hold at fast' One star whose srlver stream of light Wrll drown the rush of youth s swlft anguish Born of wistful expectatzons of sour sweet antrcrpatrons One brzght forever star to lead and Iure me Always onward' And so agam this prayer For gust one blazing star please God To forge for me a bright forever So even when my sight IS drmmecl by fears For some dead might have been And even when a brittle prece of life should Cut my heart s frail unlocked door Or even when a bltter wmd should Take the rlggmgs of my soul And smash them fo the drowmng waves I have only but to raise my head And lrft my eyes For there above this human dm My one dear star' My star whose light would blmd the sun Until my faithless tears have dried Untrl my soldier heart has healed Until my soul has set its sarl once more' . . .
