The star

José Vianna da Motta

There is a star in the sky

That no one sees but I;

How good! -- that no one else sees it.

It does not shine as the others do

But it gives out such a calm light!

How good! -- no one else sees it.

In a blue little corner of the sky,

Where it is, I will not tell

No one! -- Only I know it: how good.
