Stars smile in the gold spangled sky.
With the stars I stay awake all night.
Gusty winds swish around
dashing me, at times, against the palash trees.
I like to fly alone
but alas I cannot.
Others have deserted me.
I look up to the sky,
to the shining stars.
I feel new light in life.
Drums beat all around.
People are dressed in gay apparel.
I want to laugh at Your showy dress.
Why do You forget all things?
Neither You allow me to go near You
nor do You allow me to go far.
Tell me, then, where I can go?
O Lord You are my only shelter now,
You in the eastern morning sky.
