The Child and the Star

Child

"Little star that shines so bright,

Come and peep at me tonight,

For I often watch for you

In the pretty sky so blue.

"Little Star! O tell me, pray,

Where you hide yourself all day?

Have you got a home like me?

and a father kind to see?"

Star

"O little Child, at you I peep,

while you lie asleep;

But when days break,

I my homeward journey take.

"For I've many friends on high,

living with me in the sky,

And a loving Father, too,

Who commands what I'm to do."
