Starry Nights

Oh starry nights,

Flickering lights,

That knowingly

Wink down at me,

Stirring from deep

Within my sleep

Remembrance of

A father's love.

My heart doth stir;

This is my cure,

My starry nights

With flick'ring lights

When I feel lost,

So tempest-tossed.

I watch this sight:

Stars burning bright.

Then, like a dove,

I feel your love

Uplift my soul

And make me whole.

What hope ignites

From flick'ring lights.
