                                                        A        
                                                      little 
                                                      child,            
                                                   joyful and 
                                                 smiling above
                    in the nightly sky, Keen to please the beholder`s eyes     
                         and beckoning her to tenderly take him In her    
                              arms and fondle with him, Shower pure      
                                  motherly love and lull him to rest                
                                     Close by  her maternal breast                                       
                                      until the radiant light of the                                 
                                         coming day Will without                                     
                                         woe veil his       lesser light                                        
                                       away. When    *      night will                                         
                                      stealthily                    creep in,          
                                     up high                           he will                            
                                    smile                                  anew.
                                   *   *                                     *    *                                                                    
                                 *                                                    *
