COMFORT FROM A STAR, by MELANIE LILLIAN VAN DER TOORN
First Line: A gray vista confronts my view
Last Line: Placed there by god for me tonight.
Subject(s): Comfort
First Line: A gray vista confronts my view
Last Line: Placed there by god for me tonight.
Subject(s): Comfort
A gray vista confronts my view,
The sky is drab; no golden hue
To ease my heart cast down in grief,
The trees are, too, without a leaf.
But now I see a shining star
So bright and clear from out afar.
It comforts me, this lonely light
Placed there by God for me tonight.
