DMC: "What Do the Stars Know?" by Jan Gars




WHAT DO THE STARS KNOW?

What do the stars know?
     To sprinkle stardust on dreamers below
     The history of mankind long-ago
     How to set the night aglow.

What do the stars know?
     How to eulogize the hunter and his foe
     How to course lost sailors as they go
     To illuminate the canvas of Van Gogh.
