The Stars Will Shine Forever Over You - Jesse Stuart Poem (1936)
The stars will shine forever over you,
But they will never reach down to your face:
And the dead leaves will hover over you
To leave a blanket on your resting place.
In summer burdock leaves will flap and wave
And sumac will grow and spit red leaves
The will lodge on a net, brown love-vine weaves
And webs that spiders weave above your grave.
You will not care for rhymes and gold leaves
when you lie in this place I am speaking of.
I don`t think you will know about them then,
And I don`t think that you will dream of love
When you lie blind to drifting skies above,
Out of the womb of woman at your birth.
At death you go back to the womb of earth
===========================
and here is how I sung it
In summer burdock leaves will flap and wave
And sumac sprouts will grow and spit red leaves
That lodge on a net, blood love-vine weaves
On webs that spiders weave above your grave.
The stars will shine forever over you,
But they will never reach down to your face:
And the dead leaves will hover over you
To leave a blanket on your burying place.
I do not think that you will dream of love
When you lie blind to drifting skies above,
Out of the womb of woman at your birth.
At death you go back to the womb of earth
The stars will shine forever over you,
But they will never reach down to your face:
And the dead leaves will hover over you
To leave a blanket on your burying place.
