In a sky of velvet black, The Huntsman leaps; Three stars glitter In his splendorous belt; While opposite, night’s lady Looks down, half-asleep, Eyes closed but brilliant, On silent earth.
And in this nether world Where air moves restless Through the winter’s grasp, A cluster of three lights Goes winking green and red, Green and red, white And green and red. Daedalus seeks earth’s quiet.
