Analysis of A star
I saw a star shining so clear as the wind whisper near.
As the night drew off below my eyes I saw the star shining off so far.
The star seem to know my name
As we laugh and dance on the escalate.
The star motion me this way.
To tell me their heavenly names
Some brought darkness for me to see
While all the others waited there for me
