I wish that all the stars I see Away up there above my head Would drop down here to me tonight, So I could set them 'round to light My room when I'm alone in bed." I I smiled at what I heard him say, I Ana lie looked down and smiled; B What foolish, vain desires may Be cherished by a child And yet perhaps God turned away And wondered at the wild, Vain wish I made that night I, too, May yearn as foolish children who I Would have the stars around them piled. |
