If the Night Were Void of Stars

   G. O. Pitcovich


   'Twould be lonely, 'twould indeed,
   If the night were void of stars

   How we'd miss the friendly warmth
   This heavenly host of ours.

   No Swan to wing the northern sky,
   Nor mighty Hercules.

   No Bear to roam the starry wood,
   Nor Charming Pleiades.

   No Crown to place on kingly heads,
   Nor Dragon there to prey

   Upon unwary souls that stroll,
   Along the Milky Way.

   The planets also we would miss,
   Venus, Saturn, Mars

   'Twould be lonely, 'twould indeed,
   If the night were void of stars.
