Lil' luminous winks shine on yonder sky
Over and above, aerial soaring high
Long far orbit, hard to eye
While night sits dimly, here in north darkness
Stars shine in midst of quietness
The wind will sing in the hushness
Today, evening time, solitary
In the silence, listening carefully
You can hear the stillness, pleasantly
Gandering at splendid shimmers on sky sparkle
That glisten, shine, glitter 'n twinkle
And gleam, glint, glow, flicker, sprinkle
They fill my heart with a delightful cry
O' stars from the sky
Light of the stellary multiply
