On the night when the stars come down
We camp there in the meadow
Far away from the lights of town
Beneath the mountains shadow
The sky is alive on a mid-summer night
Before the moon comes rising
Stars will dance with their ribbons of light
Stretching to the far horizon
Silent in a field of grass
We lie so still for hours
The August sky is shooting past
And the night comes down in showers
Far away the ships at sea
Plot their lonely courses
Looking homeward just like me
To heavens star-lit forces
Once a year in the midnight dark
We watch the stars a-fallin
We see the sky all streaked with sparks
And we hear the heavens callin
