THERE was a star Which out of the height of heaven fell, And was lost, ah me! The beautiful star fell into the sea, And falling, was folded into a shell, And the beautiful star became a pearl In the sea. There was a smile Which out of her eyes' blue heaven fell As the sunbeams dart. The beautiful smile fell into my heart, And falling, was folded in Love's sweet shell, And the beautiful smile became a song In my heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE FLOATING MORMON by KAREN SWENSON THE SHELL TO THE PEARL by LOUIS UNTERMEYER LONDON, FR.
