TO A STAR by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: AM I THE ONLY CHILD AWAKE
Last Line: BRIGHT STAR, REMEMBER ME.
Subject(s): STARS;
Am I the only child awake
Beneath thy midnight beams?
If so, for gentle slumber's sake,
The brighter be their dreams!

But shouldst thou, travelling the deep,
The silent angel see
That puts the little ones to sleep,
Bright star, remember me.
