BLUE-EYED GRASS OF MAY by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: STAR, HIGH STAR, FAR IN THE BLUE
Last Line: THEY ARE THE BLUE-EYED GRASS OF MAY!
Subject(s): MAY (MONTH); STARS;

STAR, high star, far in the blue,
I have stars more near than you,
Shining from the blue-eyed grass,
Peeping at me as I pass.

Star, high star, far in the blue,
I wish that I could pick you, too,
I know I'd love you better, star,
If you were not so high and far.

My little friendly stars are found
Right close to me upon the ground;
You shine all night, they shine all day—
They are the blue-eyed grass of May!
