THE TWIN STARS, by                    
First Line: Up above me star and star
Last Line: Who'll the blessing o'er them say?
Subject(s): God; Heaven; Jews; Sabbath; Paradise; Judaism; Sunday


UP above me star and star—
Side by side like twins they are:
Like the eyes of God they seem,
As in Heaven's height they gleam.

Like on Sabbath light and light,
By my mother twinkle bright.
Are there eyes that watch on high?
Are there Sabbaths in the sky?

If Almighty's eyes they be,
Do they fondly look at me?
But if lights for Sabbath-day—
Who'll the Blessing o'er them say?
