And up into the night
you'll run
And gallop over stars
Into pastures all of cloud
Restrained by neither gate nor bar.
The Starry Path you
now must take
And cross over to the land
Where others just like you now run
In a beautiful, ghostly band.
But please, old friend,
I beg of you
Don't leave that cloud-filled place
Nor think you wait in vain
Until the Starry Path I take
To be with you again.
