IF I HAD THE STARS BENEATH MY FEET
If I had the stars of heaven beneath my feet
Full of God’s golden sparkling light
Floating in the dark of universal night
I would spread myself out over them
And remain awake sleepless in your sight.
But since I have only the grass and the wood
I’ll lie down as best as any man could
And softly dream and pray
And fall asleep in my own way
Thinking of reaching you.
