From the Star World
You and I must have met
In a star-world long ago;
The thrill is with me yet,
I worshipped and loved you so.
I must have loved you well,
With an eager human heart,
For the old-remembered spell
Pulsed in a world apart.
You in the star-world old
Were simple, and young, and sweet
Out of your heart of gold
You answered mine beat for beat.
When to this lower sphere,
You came from that starry plane,
I quivered and felt you near,
Knew you and loved again.
