Song

I.

T

he stars are with the voyager

Wherever he may sail;

The moon is constant to her time;

The sun will never fail;

But follow, follow round the world,

The green earth and the sea;

So love is with the lover’s heart,

Wherever he may be.

II.

Wherever he may be, the stars

Must daily lose their light;

The moon will veil her in the shade;

The sun will set at night.

The sun may set, but constant love

Will shine when he ’s away;

So that dull night is never night,

And day is brighter day.
