Star-eye
Ture Rangström
Star-eye, you that I met
long ago in vanished times,
now it is the evening of life,
and my weary youth is moving unto rest.
Will-o'-the-wisps, that the world has lighted,
fade so easily away in the world.
Star-eye, much has happened
since we parted on our ways.
Bewildering is the road that goes
through dark countries.
Star-eye, star-eye,
shall I never more reach your hands?
Take my hands
and lead me into your bright kingdom.
Star-eye, give me your peace
and let me become like you.
