The stars of the world have joined to-day. <br />‘Mid the host on high none are found like these. <br />The Pleiads desire such unity, <br />For no breath can come between them. <br />The star of the east hath come to the west; <br />He hath found the sun among the daughters thereof. <br />He hath set up a bower of thick branches; <br />He hath made of them a tent for the sun. <br /> <br />Translated by Nina Salaman<br /><br />Yehudah HaLevi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-meeting-of-the-stars/
