English text
- The infinite shining heavens
- Rose, and I saw in the night
- Uncountable angel stars
- Showering sorrow and light.
- I saw them distant as heaven,
- Dumb and shining and dead,
- And the idle stars of the night
- Were dearer to me than bread.
- Night after night in my sorrow
- The stars looked over the sea,
- Till lo! I looked in the dusk
- And a star had come down to me.
Lyrics: Robert Louis Stevenson - (1850-1894) - from "Songs of Travel".
