O SOFT star of the west! Gleaming far, Thou'rt guiding all things home, Gentle star! Thou bringst from rock and wave The sea-bird to her nest, The hunter from the hills, The fisher back to rest. Light of a thousand streams, Gleaming far! O soft star of the west! Blessed star! No bowery roof is mine, No hearth of love and rest, Yet guide me to my shrine, O soft star of the west! There, there my home shall be, Heaven's dew shall cool my breast, When prayer and tear gush free, O soft star of the west! O soft star of the west, Gleaming far! Thou'rt guiding all things home, Gentle star! Shine from thy rosy heaven, Pour joy on earth and sea! Shine on, though no sweet eyes Look forth to watch for me! Light of a thousand streams, Gleaming far! O soft star of the west!
