1. Among the stars sits The eye of the universe, Huge and round 2. It looks down onto the earth Watching the living and guarding the night 3. The glowing sphere appears In the sky like An ornament worn by a holiday tree 4. Lighting up the night And reassuring us that We are not alone 5. On a clear night It's reflection can be seen on the glistening mirror of nature 6. It travels along the skyline Taking turns with sun Always in opposition 7. A floating mass in the sky above Which controls the Tides of our world
