Classic Poem

FAIR starry eyes,
A firmament by roadside and by field,
What vision makes you sweetly wise?
What to you is revealed?

Fair starry eyes,
The golden sun still shines with ardent rays;
But soon come winter's chill surprise
And melancholy days.

Fair starry eyes,
Do ye then know the law that all must learn,
That out from death new life shall rise,
That summer must return?

Fair starry eyes,
With tranquil gaze, spread your good news afar;
In your sweet eyes all wisdom lies,
Ye blossoms of the star.
