“Go,” said the star to its light: “Follow your fathomless flight! Into the dreams of space Carry the joy of my face. “Go!” said the star to its light: “Tell me the tale of your flight.” As the words rang out the heavens through, Quick the light dashed, unheard it flew. It warmed hearts with a tender gleam, And lit the path of dreams. “Go!” said the star to its light: “Tell me the tale of your flight.” For ages it shined and ages it went, But now the light dimmed; a call it sent. The light told its tale, Its gleam grew pale. “No!” said the star to its light: “Let my words burn forever bright!” “Now go,” said the star to its light: “Follow your fathomless flight! Now shine, and gleam, fly on, and beam, And light the path of dreams.” “Go!” Edited by Ryan Main Adapted from The Star to its Light by George Parsons Lathrop (1851-1898)
