O shining stars! <br />Eyes of the night, <br />Glowing ardent, <br />You smile so bright. <br />Just as you smiled <br />When still a child <br />Lovely and brisk, <br />Bright as yourselves <br />I would frolic and frisk <br />Without sorrow. <br />You smile today, <br />When weak and gray <br />I weep with grief <br />For my lost belief. <br />You will smile tomorrow <br />Upon my grave.... <br /> <br /> <br />1891<br /><br />Hovhannes Toumanian<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-the-stars/
