The Stars Lyrics by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

Five Fairy Ballads

0

Wee brown baby, lookin' upwards
\nAt de wondrous Heav'n afar
\nSees de stars all shinin' brightly
\nSort of wonders what dey are
\nSays her mudder
\n"De departed in dat distant home above
\nThro' dem holes are always peepin'
\nAt de folks on earth dey love."
\n
\nWee white baby, pointing upwards
\nTiny fingers to the sky
\nSees the stars and asks her mother
\n"Did Dod put dem dere and why?"
\nSays her mother
\n"Those, my darling, are the lights of heav'n above
\nCheering onward weary pilgrims
\nAnd teaching them that God is Love."\n\n
