Now you’ve been tucked in For eternal earthrise and wonder A sailor through aeons Story unheard Howling at the Earth Yours the whole graveyard of heavens A ship that sailed home You’re with us, face of the night Singing through the morn for mankind I want to sing with you You’re home now, outward urge As with every dreaming creature We want to come with you Here I came to be Your reach into the far On the stellar sea Cut in little stars We all want the due night Beauty which is worth the hurting We’re coming to join you Hope revived for a lifetime To rekindle the human spark In love with the night Now you’ve been tucked in For eternal earthrise and wonder A sailor through aeons Story now heard Howling at the Earth Yours is the whole starmap of heavens Of myriad endings We came here to be A waypoint to the far On the stellar sea Cut into little Stars calling with the sound Of a dreamlike dulcimer We came here to stay With your guiding light “And when he shall die Take him and cut him out in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world Will be in love with the night And pay no worship to the garish sun” - W. Shakespear / Romeo and Juliet Laudato Si Ad Astra
