Analysis of I Wander Through the Universe



I wander through the universe
And see each shining star.
Sometimes I feel they are a curse
Because they are quite far.

The planets are much harder to
Locate since they don't shine.
But when I'm close enough to view
Them, I love each design!

A meteoroid is fun to see.
It orbits 'round the sun.
It has been since it first was free;
A fragment "on the run".

And what about the friendly moon?
Its phases are a sight.
I love them in the warmth of June
On every starry night!

Don't hesitate to ride with me;
Imaginations fly
As soon as you begin to "see"
Your dreams above the sky!
