The Brightest Star

Alone I am sailing on the ship,

No map in hand, on first far trip.

Yet I am moving with your light,

The brightest star, my only guide.

Now rain, now storm are closing in.

My darling's guidance - can't be seen.

I'm lost. Tears flowing from my eyes,

Lightning rends the storm-swept skies.

My ship is creaking from the waves,

I'm sinking down, as it breaks.

The salty water's filling lungs.

The brightest star, - I am too young.
