STAR SONG by ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON

First Line: WHEN SUNSET FLOWS INTO GOLDEN GLOWS
Last Line: THAT IS MY THOUGHT OF YOU.

WHEN sunset flows into golden glows,
And the breath of the night is new,
Love, find afar yon yearning star --
That is my thought of you.

And when your eye doth scan the sky
Your lonely lattice through,
Choose any one, from sun to sun --
That is my thought of you.

And when you wake at the morning's break
To rival rose and dew,
The star that stays in the leaping rays --
That is my thought of you.
